"China is the second largest oil consumer behind the United States. China emerged from being a net oil exporter in the early 1990s and became the world’s third-largest net importer of oil in 2006. China’s oil consumption growth accounted for about a third of the world’s oil consumption growth in 2009. Natural gas usage in China has also increased rapidly in recent years, and China has looked to raise natural gas imports via pipeline and liquefied natural gas (LNG). China is also the world’s largest producer and consumer of coal, an important factor in world energy markets."
