China ‘completely’ stops buying LNG from US – FT

Beijing’s retaliatory tariffs have made American gas financially unviable, the outlet has said

China has “completely” stopped imports of US liquefied natural gas (LNG) for over ten weeks, extending the trade war between Beijing and Washington into energy cooperation, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing shipping data.

Amid escalating trade tensions, China has imposed tariffs on US hydrocarbons – up to 99% – effectively pricing them out of the Chinese market.
