China orders immediate ban on fuel exports for March — Reuters
The Chinese government has effectively banned refined fuel exports for March "with immediate effect”, Reuters reported on Thursday. This measure comes as another step to pre-empt a potential domestic fuel shortage caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran.
According to the sources, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) banned shipments of gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel.
