Russia becomes China’s top oil supplier – media​

Big discounts help Moscow overtake Saudi Arabia in exports to the world’s biggest crude consumer

Russia became China’s top oil supplier in May, with exports soaring 55% from last year, Reuters reported on Monday, citing data from the Chinese General Administration of Customs

According to the report, imports of Russian oil to China last month amounted to nearly 8.42 million tons, or 1.98 million barrels per day, including volumes pumped via the East Siberia Pacific Ocean (ESPO) pipeline and shipments from Russia’s European and Far Eastern ports. The 25% increase from April enabled Russia to displace Saudi Arabia to become China’s largest oil supplier.

China slashed its imports of Saudi oil to 7.82 million tons, or 1.84 million barrels per day, down from April’s 2.17 million bpd. Brazil’s supplies dropped by 19%, amounting to 2.2 million tons. Despite the lingering Covid-19 related drop in demand, China’s overall oil imports rose nearly 12% in May year-on-year to 10.8 million barrels per day.

This is what the Americans and their puppets were malding over lol. Their containment plan against China will fail if they don’t assassinate Putin (coin toss) or invade Russia.

Why China is not rising as a financial superpower​

Beijing must find the confidence to lift capital controls and make the renminbi fully convertible



Written by an Indian.
They are still writing pieces about capital fleeing China while foreign directed investment into China is even eclipsing FDI into the US. We are talking about $163 billion into China vs $134 billion into the US.

So you have money world wide looking for all sorts of ways to get into China but the same Chinese people that read the same data want to flee to weaker performing countries with their capital? Im not an economist and i hope i'm not that stupid but it doesn't seems to add up, especially after the last 3 years. This sort of article would have made sense 10 years ago.
