EU turns to China for surplus LNG – FT​

EU countries have been increasingly boosting storages with surplus Chinese liquefied natural gas (LNG) purchased in the spot market, the Financial Times reported on Monday.

According to the article, China, the globe’s largest LNG buyer, has been reselling some of its excess volumes in the international market. The surplus is attributable to weak domestic demand as Covid-19 restrictions linger on.

As the EU struggles to secure energy supplies ahead of the heating season and amid the drop in gas deliveries from Russia, it has been buying Chinese LNG in the spot market despite it being more expensive.

For instance, the Chinese LNG trader JOVO Group recently disclosed having resold an LNG cargo to a European buyer. China’s biggest oil refiner, Sinopec Group, also reported on an earnings call earlier this year that it has been selling its excess LNG in the international market. Reports say that the company has sold 45 cargoes of LNG so far this year, or about 3.15 million tons. The FT estimates that the total amount of Chinese LNG resold in the first half on 2022 may top 4 million tons, which is equivalent to about 7% of Europe’s total gas imports during this period.

Overall, according to the research firm Kpler, the EU’s LNG imports soared 60% year-on-year over the first six months of 2022. However, the FT analysts warn that China may not be able to come to the bloc's aid for much longer. Once the lockdowns are finally fully lifted and the country's economic activity bounces back, its huge energy demand will return and there will likely be no surplus LNG to sell.

An Indian girl enjoying her time living in the Chinese countryside in Sichuan province with her adopted Chinese family. She appreciates the level of China's rural development and the warm welcome she received.

If the West and India insists that this CGTN video is CCP propaganda, then this is actually positive propaganda. Compare this to the constant hateful propaganda coming out of the West and India. Their media is always talking about ways to hurt China, the Chinese people and others. The real problem is them, not China.

He brought Pizza Hut to Russia.
Ironically today Pizza Hut has left Russia due to a war that was also the result of what he did, so really he brought nothing.

Someone at the office said to me today "he's actions are still being felt by us today: there are two active wars being fought right now due to what transpired underneath him, whatever he did he did a lot of it."

By popping the Soviet Union he not only destroyed the only major threat bordering China but helped boost Chinese military tech by several decades in one fell swoop. He accomplished a lot for China.
