摘要

"China is one of the most important markets for oil, and Saudi oil is one of the most important sources of energy for China." So declared Saud al-Faisal, Saudi Arabia's foreign minister, as his country's leader, King Abdullah, began an Asian tour this week by meeting China's president, Hu Jintao. Though America is Saudi Arabia's biggest customer and oldest friend, the king's choice for his first official trip outside the Middle East perhaps ought to be no surprise. China is, after all, proving to be an unquenchable customer in the world oil market. Or is it? China's oil demand certainly shot up in 2004, by 15%. The Chinese economy grew strongly last year, and most commentators assume that oil consumption did the same. That strong growth, along with political crises in Iran and Nigeria, appeared to explain why oil prices have been recently heading towards $70 a barrel again. The latest rally has set the stage nicely for a meeting of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in Vienna on January 31st.
