All the oil in China

[Martian2]

China's oil consumption is 10.3 million barrels per day. China's oil production is 4.46 million barrels per day. How do you make up the 7 million barrels per day in a war-time emergency (e.g. no Saudi oil)?

1. Drill more oil wells in China.
2. Look for more oil deposits offshore along the eastern coast of China.
3. Look for oil in the South China Sea.
4. Switch to coal use wherever possible.
5. Increase fracking and production of natural gas.
6. Build more coal-to-liquid (CTL) plants. CTL plants convert coal into synthetic fuel.
7. Increase energy efficiency standards for cars, trucks, and other major energy consumers.
8. Mandate by law that mass transportation must be used whenever possible.
9. Without a good reason, everyone must drive a subcompact.
10. Buy more oil from Russia.
11. Buy more oil from Iran.
12. Buy more oil from Kazakhstan.
13. Move to a war-footing and build a Navy to clear the trade lanes to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq.
14. Build more wind farms, solar, hydro, and nuclear plants to provide energy for electric batteries. Have more people drive electric cars.

All the oil in China

China should be alright. China should be thanking the U.S for the tight/shale oil revolution.

1.U.S is importing less oil from OPEC. that oil instead going to China and India
2.OPEC and the Sauds are lowering the price of oil to compete and keep market share because of all that tight oil. saving China billions and the world economy

 

[Azizam]

China took full advantage of recent oil price drop that Chinese oil storages are now nearly full.

 

[Anees]

Now a days oil is most powerful thing ...

 

[Superboy]

Over 99% of China's oil is in the South China Sea, which China considers Chinese territory.

shame no one else agrees with that claim.

 

[大汉奸柳传志]

Maybe we could build a pipeline to Iran though Pakistan

Power talks. Everything else walks. There is no United Nations to stop China from annexing the entire South China Sea. We are building dozens of 055 destroyers. What are you building? Nothing.

China annexed loads of places in the past. Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia.

there isn't enough oil in the SCS to warrant China doing something stupid like annexing SCS.

but I hope they do. It's a very USA like move. take some of that heat off of us in that part of the world.

It's going to get worse before it gets better.

Nothing wrong with annexation. Following in U.S. footsteps.

The United States is a great power, because it annexed a continent in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries (e.g. Alaska and Hawaii in 1959).

Thus, it is an open question whether China should follow in the footsteps of the United States. Annexed territories become buffer zones. Newly-acquired territories also bring resources.

The American concept of sea-to-shining sea resonates with Hans. Should China blaze a path to western seas? It is a matter worthy of debate and unlikely to be resolved anytime soon.

In conclusion, annexation is not a Chinese idea. It is a western practice (see Rome and the United States).

this is the 21st century. the time of annexing large swathes of land is in the past.

Vietnam,Philippines, and Taiwan won't sit back and let it happen either.
