China's gas imports rise 13% in January-July
China's natural gas imports, via pipeline and as LNG, reached 75.44mn tonnes from January to July, marking a 12.9% increase year/year, according to data released by the customs department on August 7.
In July alone, imports totaled 10.85mn tonnes, indicating sustained growth in gas imports. The surge in natural gas imports is attributed to softer global LNG prices, making imports more attractive.
