383 million barrels a day China is the seventh largest raw oil manufacturer in the world, but it is even remotely not corresponding to the satisfaction of domestic demand. The second largest economy of the world also ranks in oil consumption (15. 4 million barrels a day), which means that it should buy the rest of what it needs from foreign sources. Last month, Reuters reported that Russia for the first time surpassed Saudi Arabia as the main source of China's oil.
As of May this year, China receives 55% more Russian oil than 2021. China, unable to use oil as part of its diplomatic arsenal, has been using a peaceful strategy for the construction of ambitious infrastructure projects around the world for about ten years. Take, for example, the initiative "One Belt, One Way" is a transport system designed to combine the Pacific Port city of Lianungan with Rotterdam. So far to the west stretched at the time the Attica empire.
Its southern analogue, the new Eurasian land bridge, begins on the Pacific coast of China, crosses several countries, including Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Turkey, where it is combined with the Mediterranean Sea (New Bosphorus) and continues to Western Europe. This is what I meant when I said that the Chinese have thought for long -term prospects that have been calculated for decades and centuries. If everything goes according to the plan, all the paths will eventually lead to Beijing.
