This is where trade wars get won and lost:

For the first time, China has taken the Nature Index crown as the biggest producer of high-quality research in chemistry, knocking the United States down to second place.

China’s chemistry output has grown by 17.9% since 2017, to achieve an impressive Share of 6,183.75 in 2018.

After taking the top spot in chemistry for three years in a row, the US fell behind China in 2018 with a Share of 5,371.32, representing a 6.2% drop from the previous year.

I mentioned my formal complaint to the Ontario Energy Board on December 27. Enbridge has responded; their response is included with my follow-up to my complaint.
