And as oil falls below $0, China is madly buying up reserves from Alaska, Canada and Brazil for stockpiling. China doesn’t report inventories, so the rate at which it fills stockpiles is almost always a game of guesstimates. Surprise surprise.
That's interesting, considering China is the world's 4th largest producer of oil.
Really, according to whom?

This site gives it as the fifth largest oil producer.
They were 4th on this list: https://www.investopedia.com/financial- ... -2011.aspx

They've since been surpassed by Canada but are still not far behind.

Canada
5.50 million barrels per day
5% of the world's oil production.

China
4.89 million barrels per day
5% of the world's oil production

Is that a big deal to you?

Typical journalistic response. Accuracy is always important, 4E. I can imagine your reaction if I claimed el Presidente Trump received fewer votes than Hilary Clinton... :rofl :rofl

Trump earned 306 to Hillary's 232.
See what I mean? :roll :roll

Trump gained 62,984,828 votes which equates to 304[a] Electoral votes
Clinton gained 65,853,514 votes which equates to 227[a} Electoral votes

[a] Trump earned 306 pledged electors, Clinton 232. They lost respectively two and five votes to faithless electors. Vice Presidential candidates Pence and Kaine lost one and five votes, respectively.

And more Americans voted against Hillary than voted for her. They got what they wanted.

Stop beating a dead horse. If you don't understand the system leave it alone! :roll:

Trump got the votes that counted. What is Hillary doing now? She is probably digging up more dirt on Biden so he'll have to pick her as a running mate. Poor guy.

Who cares, Tex? Trumpites love to dig up the last Democrat who ran against Trump and beat him soundly in the popular vote. It's sad really that they must hark back to Hilary. What ever happened to el Presidente's promise to put her in prison, hey? Dead as a dodo. Like so many of his other electoral promises. What a shame you're paying for the wall/fence, hey and not as promised the Mexicans... :roll :roll

Not to worry. You'll have Joe to worry about soon. More lies from both sides, right? :rofl

You obviously care the most, Brian, because you bark on about it constantly. She lost. Get over it. Move on! :roll: :roll:

I care about accuracy, Black Orchid. It appears you don't like being reminded that Trump only won the keys to the oval office through chicanery. :roll :roll

He won office through the Electoral system which is what the US uses. If you can't grasp that Brian no-one can help you.

Take your Tourettes obsession about Hillary and Trump to another thread and stop ruining every topic with it. Have your much needed disruptive last word and MOVE ON! The Playground is calling you.
