China stops buying liquefied gas from US

Standstill shows how Sino-American trade war has spilled into energy sector

China’s imports of US liquefied natural gas have completely stopped for more than 10 weeks, according to shipping data showing how the Sino-American trade war has spread to energy co-operation.

Since a 69,000-tonne LNG tanker from Corpus Christi in Texas arrived in the southern province of Fujian on February 6 there have been no further shipments between the two countries.
