China’s crude oil imports rose in October despite disruptions to oil supplies from the Middle East caused by the Iran war, reaching their highest level since March this year.
According to data from China’s customs authorities, the country imported 41.94 million tonnes of crude oil in October, equivalent to 9.88 million barrels per day.
Daily imports increased by 9.4 per cent from September, Al Jazeera reported, citing the customs data.
The rise in imports came despite disruptions to energy shipments from the Middle East amid the ongoing conflict, highlighting China’s continued demand for crude oil.
