Reuters: China began to abandon Russian oil

41

Sinochem Corp, a Chinese state-owned petrochemical company, decided in May 2020 to abandon Rosneft's products and cooperation with related companies, Reuters reported. The company linked its decision with US sanctions against Rosneft Trading SA, based in Geneva (Switzerland), a structural unit of the Russian oil giant.

It is clarified that in February 2020, Washington increased pressure on the regime of Nicolas Maduro, imposing sanctions against Rosneft Trading SA, which trades Venezuelan oil. Then the US Treasury called May 20, 2020 an extreme date for other companies around the world to curtail their operations with this company. Otherwise, they will be subject to US sanctions.



The agency notes that the actions of the Chinese "comrades" demonstrate the seriousness of the sanctions and US influence in the global commodity market. And this, despite the close relationship between Moscow and Beijing.

It looks like political game: USA and Saudi Arabia want to punish Russia, but China cannot help it (Moscow)

- reports one of the sources.

It is emphasized that on March 16, 2020 the Singapore company Sinochem International Oil, a trading unit of the Chinese Sinochem Group, in the tender documentation for the purchase of oil in May-June indicated that PJSC NK Rosneft or its subsidiaries could not participate in the transaction. The tender provides for the purchase of crude oil for the Sinochem refinery in Quanzhou, in the southeastern Chinese province of Fujian, with the delivery of goods from May 20, 2020 to June 10, 2020. Thus, the Chinese ruled out the products of the Russian company because of fears that Washington might unexpectedly expand sanctions.

Previously we Reportedthat in February 2020, Trump extended anti-Russian sanctions and imposed sanctions against Rosneft Trading SA and its leader Didier Kasimiro.

    - And why did the "digital" hurray-patriots quieten down ... - and how they praised China ... - And where did that go ???
    - And today all these brothers will begin to "express" here ... here ... here ... their assurances that they have always been on the side of "reasonable and balanced partnership" and have always "condemned such an indiscriminate partnership", when the success of Russian trade policy is questioned ... - Namely ... - they allegedly never welcomed the Power of Siberia (which practically turns into a through pipe, where a whole trillion of Russian money flew away); and the Zvezda shipyard, which will become a symbol of Russian bungling and fraud of Russian managers at the same time; and the project that NOVATEK is starting in Yamal and which by all indications will be nothing but the ghost of a failed Gazprom ... -So where are all the adherents of all this, who so zealously defended all this charlatanism, which has already begun to manifest itself ...
    - During the Second World War, there were policemen who openly and faithfully served the enemies of Russia (enemies of the USSR) ... and many then ended up in a gallows and a camp ... - And who survived, they began to completely deny any participation in such long affairs ... - Here, too, these "site policemen" have urgently forgotten about their "previous beliefs" and even began to speak out diametrically opposite to their previous site blunders ... my address ... it's just horror ... - And how they got out of hand and showed themselves in this ... - one in front of the other ... - Obviously, so they easily tried to be branded as brave (the eternal position of cowards) ... - And their nicknames -names are known ... - they should not be called ...
    - And now they have quieted down ... - these "policemen on the site" ... - No, it is not their conscience that torments them ... - they are simply afraid ... - Personally, they are afraid of me ... - Well, the "policemen" are " policemen "... -Hahah .. and only ...

      Why do Russia need dollars?
      In Russia, all payments are in rubles. It was in the 90s that they considered everything in dollars and conducted transactions in dollars, even household ones ... am
      Now, many do not even understand why this was then done.
      By the way, marker, if a person pays a lot of attention to the exchange rate, then most likely this person is not from Russia, but from the "near abroad".

        Don’t write anything stupid at all, I understand that you need to write something. For you, I see, there will be an unprecedented shocking discovery if you see that with the appreciation of the dollar, for some reason, almost all products automatically rise in price? Imported goods are faster, domestic ones are delayed, but almost everything rises in price. Never heard of this? Sorry....

    The whole problem is that the States are not going to give up their advantage. So the fight will be necessary. The actions of China clearly show that no one will go against American sanctions. A reasonable decision for the United States would be to remove all Russian oil from the market. Moreover, if it will not be traded for dollars, then there is absolutely no reason for the United States to see it on the market. This makes about 5 million barrels per day. And we cut the competitor, and oil prices will rise. So the States should introduce a complete ban on the trade in Russian hydrocarbons.
    Russia needs to prepare for a complete ban on oil and possibly gas trade. What retaliatory steps can Russia take? I'm afraid there aren't many of them. In the event of a complete ban on Russian hydrocarbons, apparently, it will be necessary to completely disconnect from the West. An "iron curtain" is needed and the first step should be the abolition of the ruble conversion. I am completely convinced of this. If not immediately, then this decision has long been overripe. And of course, not fake counter-sanctions, but a complete package. The first step is nationalization within the country. RusAl will be the first candidate. You can also look for something else.

    The writers here are still not aware that there is a war? And it has been going on for a long time.

      Not a fact, especially since they also invested in the gas pipeline. And what will they say to their own if they stop taking gas? He goes to the north-west of the country, there is no LNG there, they will offer their people to go to the dung, because Trump is cursing?
      And they will take oil anyway, they’ll simply issue it through another company.

      - It was originally already "down the drain" ... - even before the launch ...
      - It was built by our guarantor and the Company ... - although the Chinese did not invest a torn yuan-wrapper there ... - And at the price for a cubic meter of Russian gas (which we were going to supply through this pipe), the Chinese did not exist for several years at all no agreement was reached ... - Why they built it and what they hoped for ... - it is not clear at all ... - They pulled this pipe through forests, ravines, swamps, swamps ... - it’s crazy to lose ... what an astronomical amount the construction cost the Russian taxpayer ... - we can only assume ... - The grandchildren will also pay for all this Xia will be ...
      - Personally, I wrote a lot about this worthless pipe with the loud name "Power of Siberia" ... - but there were so many "adepts" of this pipe ...
      - And the Power of Siberia pipe ... is real ... - a real "clamp" for today's and future generations of Russian taxpayers ...

      If the States impose sanctions on all hydrocarbons of Russian origin, then all in vain. And any pipeline, and LNG. But this is a full-blown war.
      I hope it doesn’t come to this, but it is necessary to prepare. There are lost battles in a war. The main thing is to win the war.

      From the border we spun the Earth back -
      It was the case, first.
      But our battalion commander twisted it back,
      Having kicked off from the Urals.

      Finally, we were ordered to advance,
      To take away our spans and crumbs,
      But we remember how the sun went back
      And almost went into the East.

      The main problem is that there is no one to give the order.

        We'll have to clarify our position, otherwise there are "smart people" who understand how it is beneficial for them.

        When I say that when full sanctions packageAny pipeline or LNG project wasted away, that doesn't mean the projects were wrong. Power of Siberia, SP-2, and LNG on Yamal are quite justified projects. Designed for the future and for a return within 10-15-20 years. And most importantly, these projects are aimed at developing infrastructure, creating jobs and developing the Far East and Siberia. A long-term regional development project cannot be compared to the current situation.

        The gas pipeline Power of Siberia -2 (Altai) will be especially important. I consider this project even more important than the Power of Siberia. Currently, the conjuncture does not allow them to be used at full capacity. The problem is not that the projects are "down the drain", but that there is a crisis in the world now. The Great Depression of the 21st Century.
