China authorizes 2027 crude oil import quotas for non-state firms

China's commerce ministry has authorized a non-state crude oil import quota of 257 million metric tons for 2027, releasing application conditions and procedures.

Background

China, the world's largest crude oil importer, manages its energy supply through a quota system for non-state companies. These quotas are crucial for independent refiners, often referred to as 'teapots,' to access international markets and meet domestic demand. The policy reflects China's ongoing efforts to balance energy security with market liberalization.
