I guess they’re referring to China getting 11% of it’s crude from Iran and nearly 50% from Arab countries that use the hermouz straight. They also have a huge reserve that should last them 3-4 months (or 6-8 months assuming they only lose 50%).
Or… they’ll import more from Russia and reduce consumption to last much longer.
It’s a national emergency, but I don’t think they’re facing mass starvation because of it… Would love for them to expand on what they mean.
