China Flips the Switch on Fuel Exports as Asia Runs Short

Beijing is reversing its curbs on refined fuel exports after halting shipments in the opening days of the U. S. -Iran conflict.

This move suggests that Chinese domestic inventories are now at comfortable levels, allowing state refiners to reopen the export spigot, even as much of Asia remains gripped by a fuel shock caused by disrupted Gulf energy flows through the Hormuz chokepoint.
