It’s a clickbait title. More appropriate clickbait would be “the United States becomes the #1 producer of oil while China rushes to electric vehicles”, busses and cars:

That revision is still clickbait. The US being the #1 producer of oil doesn’t say anything about usage. Example: a country could simultaneously be a low user while being a huge producer - Norway.


I understand your made up hypothetical example but it has no value.

Wouldn’t it be more worthwhile to deal with reality?

The US is by far the largest consumer of oil and we love large vehicles.

Why do we need to include the US in the title at all when the story is about e buses in China?
