There has been enormous shortage of fuelthroughout China some time ago from eastern
shanghai to Southern Guandong province asalso the capital Beijing.
The result was long lines of trucks,cars andtwo wheelers at the petrol pumps.
But the retailers were either rationing thefuel or refused to give at all citing excuses thatthere is no stock.
People engaged in brawling killed eachother raring for fuel.

The root cause was huge rise in unregulated
international crude oil prices.
But the gasoline and diesel prices were
heavily regulated in communist china.
Media reported that chinas state owned oil
companies had to buy crude oil at recordhigh prices and sell refined products at prices
as regulated by the state.

Low regulated prices had three impacts:
Higher demand for oil.
Higher demand for complimentary goods suchas cars and trucks-new found love of chinese
middle class thanks to consistent 8-10% GDPgrowth rate over Past 25 years.
Chinese oil companies and refiners are forced to
export all they can to take advantage of higherprices elswhere, even as the country remains anet oil importer, relying on foreign stock.

The History . . .
In 300 BC, a domestic petroleum industry was
slow to develop.
Foreign firms such as Standard oil & Asiatic
Petroleum supplied much of the country's oil
until the establishment of Peoples Republic of China in 1949.

Price Parity Breakdown
The price parity method introduced by the Chinesegovt. in 2001 was abolished in 2003 after the
outbreak of SARS.
Few increases in retail prices of gasoline and dieselwere made in between. These increases howeverwere not enough to cover up the losses of
downstream oil companies.
In this of environment of high global crude prices,exploration and production business prospered
by importing crude oil at international prices.

Price Parity Breakdown
This led to a shortage of gasoline and Dieselsupplies in China.
The Latest Price hike that the Chinese
government passed on to the consumer was just before the summer Olympics of 2008.
The recent cool off in crude oil prices from anall time high of $140/barrel to a low of around $40 a barrel has somehow solved theproblem of the Chinese government for thetime being.

WTO
Introduction
-
8/8/2019 China Long Line
38/60
Chinas accession to the world trade organisation (WTO) on Dec.11th 2001
helped open its refined products market to foreign competition. Once
restricted to local companies, retail distribution was liberalized in Dec
2004 with wholesale distribution scheduled to open in Dec. 2006.
Even with the elimination of sales barriers, Petrochina, Sinopec ,China
oil(CNPC) and Zhuhai zhenrong would continue to dominate chinas
wholesale market, fuel storage and transportation infrastructure, placing
independent retailers at a severe disadvantage.

Major Roles of WTO
The three main WTO-related changes that will most directly affect theChina oil and gas industry are:
The reduction of tariffs
The elimination of certain non-tariff barriers to trade
The opening of the retail and wholesale markets to
foreign participation.

Reduction in Tariff
Chinas entry into WTO will affect tariffs on some, butnot all, oil and gas products.
Tariff Reduction Pre WTO Post WTO
Crude Oil 6% zero
Gasoline 9% 5%
Diesel 6% 6%
Kerosene 9% 9%
Fuel Oil 6% 6%
LNG 6% 5%
Lubricating Oil 9% 6%

Elimination of Non-Tariff barriers
China has agreed to eliminate quotas andlicenses on the import of refined petroleumproducts by 2004, and to increase quotas by 15%each year until 2004.
The current import ban on gasoline and diesel
fuel will also reportedly be lifted immediatelyupon WTO entry.

Recent Trends
China's first oil price increase in 17 months should
end fuel shortages that were unnerving thecountry's leaders, but it leaves Beijing no nearer to
the market deregulation needed to ensure stable
long-term energy supplies.

Chinas biggest concern is consistency. The
government doesn't want direct exposure to
global markets. They are worried that full
liberalization will lead to boom-and-bust cycles.
To this day, Beijing is all about control. This
dilemma, this push-pull, will remain a remnant of
the command-and-control economy of old. It is
politically sensitive prices that are in the cross
hair.

Conclusion
China's aim to use market prices for energy tocurb wasteful use and investment is a long-termstrategy for the near- and medium-term, itneeds affordable energy prices to power its
industrialization.
To achieve that, the government has struck a
subtle alliance with national oil firms: in returnfor granting near-monopoly power to stateenergy giants Sinopec Corp and PetroChina ,Beijing wants their guarantee for stable oilsupplies.

Maintaining economic and political stability and arapidly rising standard of living have been criticalconsiderations for the ruling Communist Party,which fears social unrest if prices were allowed torise too quickly.
History suggests China will not easily relinquishcontrol of such an important price.
The supply crunch is possibly worse thanprevious ones in 2003 and 2005. Analysts saidthe most recent two shortages were directly theresult of Beijing's price controls.

The low fuel prices, which have helped to fuelChinas economic growth, are not sustainable,
and China cannot build power plants fastenough to satisfy the excess demand at current
controlled prices. It will be interesting to seehow Chinas competitiveness is affected when
firms are forced to absorb the full cost (or moreof the cost) of energy inputs into production
decisions.
