      Lmao. First, China is not your partner. Secondly, they have always been reliable at looking out for their own interests. Thirdly, anyone with a lick of sense is currently thinking how to hoard some oil right about now. The US is of course doing the opposite.

      Well no shit? Every country is hoarding oil and keeping oil byproducts like fertilizers to themselves. Who in their right mind wouldn’t?! 

    3. What a fucking clown. How dare China put themselves first while America burns the world to the ground with their war of choice.

    4. Did they even say “thank you” for starting another quagmire in the middle east??

    6. What is with this administration being belligerent to other nations and then whining when they don’t do whatever we want?

      Seriously; who put all these juveniles in charge….

      This is what happens when you fire all of the experts, are anti intellectual, and have an administration run by Nazi apologists and polarized influencers

      So China filled their reserves while prices were low?  

      It was the US pressuring India to stop buying Russian oil that enabled further discounts below market and Chinese stockpiling.  

      Something something proverb about sunshine and making hay.
