Chinese firms are reselling record volumes of LNG amid tight global markets and high spot prices driven by disruptions (including the Iran situation).Resales go to Asian buyers, including Japan (which maintains sanctions on Russian energy), along with South Korea, Thailand, India, and the Philippines.The article notes China’s ability to resell stems from weak domestic demand thx to rapid electrification, growing domestic production, and ample pipeline supplies from Russia, allowing firms to capitalize on higher international prices.https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/tight-global-market-well-positioned-china-resells-record-lng-volumes-2026-04-01/This way China plays a role of regional energy stabilizer/supplier, amid the US adventurism in Iran.Would a country seriously hurt by Hormuz blockade resell its stuff? xD
China is reselling gas to make money while their people go without. Just keep that in mind. The CCP is fining and fee-ing the shit out of their people right now because they're desperate for cash.It's amazing how few people actually know what's going on in china right now. There are riots popping up all over the place due to unpaid wages.
>>532202183So wait, we sell them our LNG for peanuts and they turn around and resell?

that tanker got some titties hehe
>>532202183Natural gas is largely unaffected by the Iran thing. It's the oil that matters.
>>532202485wrong, qatar accounts for roughly 15-20% of global gas market.
>>532202485Your view is wrong for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan etc, which import nearly all their natural gas as LNG with minimal storage (3 weeks for Japan for example). Iranian strikes damaged Qatars Ras Laffan LNG complex that was key Asia supplier and disrupted Hormuz (20% of global LNG). Asian spot prices surged >140%, spiking electricity costs for power generation (up to 40% of their mix) and forcing premium spot buys, including Russian LNG resold by Chinese firms at 2-3x markup. xD
>>532202315china is such a boomer black hole of propaganda, any good sources for news on the ground there?
>>532202485Just wait. Even if strait is opened today, there will be shortage. Iran bombed qatar’s liqudification plants. It will take years it to be fully operational. LNG is used in fertilizer production too. >>532202183While americans are busy destroying their empire for jews, china is expanding its sphere of influence.
>>532202315nah, it's weak industrial demand (global recession combined with lack of building in china) combined with cheap supplies from russian pipelines. they liquify it and mark it up like crazy
>>532202390no they liquify our pipeline gas and resell it.They're not doing it only to make profit but also to help the asian market that trump absolutely trashed by this war.Asian markets are being obliterated, if prices rise significantly they simply do not have wealth to outbid G7 countries or whatever
>>532202867>weak industrial demandChinas industrial production (value-added output) grew 6.3% yoy in Jan-Feb 2026, accelerating from 5.2% prior and beating forecasts, driven by manufacturing (6.6%). https://tradingeconomics.com/china/industrial-productionEU (euro area) industrial production fell 1.2% yoy in Jan 2026 (down 1.5% mom), with 2025 annual average up only 1.5%https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-euro-indicators/w/4-13032026-apUS industrial production rose 1.4% yoy in Feb 2026, with modest monthly gains (0.2%).https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/united-states/industrial-production-index-growthChinas factory growth is currently 5x faster than the US/EU amid export strength and policy support. xD
>insects scurry as storm approaches
>>532202315Let me guess2 more weeks until china collapses
>>532203273>storm approachesThats a bird! Thats a plane! Thats a storm! Hell no, thats the Epstein Fury xD
>>532202405or DW
>>532202646Check natural gas prices. They are at six month lows.It's not like oil where demand is inelastic and the world is basically at the limit of how much it can supply. If we can't get natural gas from Qatar other countries can pick up the slack. Not so much with oil.
>>532202183They are restricting the fertilizer to make bombs for upcoming world war. Oil will always flow from russia because china is their only reliable industrial ally
>>532202663They can buy LNG elsewhere. There is no other oil to buy if some of it can't get out of the Middle East.
>>532203467>finite resource vs finite resouceyou're retarded.
>>532202698It's an authoritarian one-party state which openly admits to being one instead of the USA's malfunctioning democratic institutions which are now effectively just accessories to whoever is actually running the show.Fun fact; Chinese Communists have explicitly stated over and over again that they refuse to adopt western-style democracy because that would enable Western interest groups to manipulate and capture their country. For historic reasons, China is obsessed with maintaining independence.
>>532202698>any good sources for news on the ground there?Answering that question, there are none. For security reasons, China will not post sensible stuff about its government which means that its own population only gets limited coverage of what's happening there.
>>532202315> TWO MOAR WEEKS SAAR> CHINA WILL COLLAPSE SAARIf you haven’t got the memo, the US is FUCKED. There is no 5D chess going on. It’s checkmate. China has been preparing for this for a long time. The US fucked itself. If you don’t believe so you’re straight up retarded and should kys
>>532203553Japan, SK, and Taiwan import nearly 100% of LNG with tiny storage. Qatar supplies 35% of their LNG (Taiwan 1/3), much routed via Hormuz. Iranian strikes damaged Ras Laffan, halting output and spiking JKM prices >100% despite diversification. Your "elsewhere" means costly spot market bidding wars with Europe/China, not easy replacement. Long-term contracts dont shield from global shocks. Oil faces similar volume/price hits (up to 95% Middle East-sourced in case of your Asian "allies", refinery mismatch). Both fuels matter critically for power and industry Dut China can currently break the piggy bank thx to LNG xD
