Snippet:
China is the world’s biggest crude importer and the largest buyer of Iranian oil. It imported about 12.4 million bpd of crude last year, with roughly half coming from the Middle East. Beijing has also been a reliable buyer of Iranian oil, accounting for 90 per cent of Iran’s sanctioned oil exports.
