Chinese Importers Shrug Off Tariff Plan for US LNG

摘要

Chinese natural gas importers are not worried about Beijing's threat to impose a 25% tariff on US LNG, as they believe they can source alternative supplies at cheaper prices from countries like Russia, Qatar and Australia. As a result, industry sources in China do not believe the country's energy security, particularly with gas supply, will suffer due to the escalating trade war with the US (IOD Aug.6'18).
