How old is ICIS? Just don't ask a question and then criticize when people try to help for overthinking, and then ask how much of chinas imports are oil? took me longer to cut and paste and answer than it did to ask google.
I didn't ask the question. But I gave the OP a slightly better solution to his quandary than you did. Are you confused?
P.S. java, here's a tip. Cut and paste is very quick. In Windows, to cut(copy), hold down CTRL+C with the text highlighted that you wish to cut. To paste, hit CTRL+V. That's faster than asking Googol.
I know who asked the question and I know who was critical of the posters for overthinking and not comprehending how lazy he is and I know who then found fault that an article anybody could google to get them on their way to an answer that was sufficiently under thought to their liking was not current enough, even though the article was not meant to answer the question but to help somebody who asked, "how much is chinas inputs oil." and cut and paste is not quick compared to not bothering to try to help somebody that doesn't even know the word thank you.
I am looking for a Markit Report that may have it. Markit has a varity of fundmental data that's free. Ofc I'll share if I find it. I know Markit gives PMI's way for free so why not Fundamental imports

Most of the time oil does not move on China these days. Don't you want to know what moves oil these days?
