China's gas usage has recovered from lows near the start of the year, as the Covid-19 outbreak has been contained to a large extent. The country's gas consumption during the first nine months of the year came to 230.95bn m3, up 3.6% yr/yr, the National Development and Reform Commission said in late October.
