China's Teapot Refiners Boost Crude Buying After New Import Quotas
By Michael Kern of Oilprice.com
Helped by the newly-issued crude import quotas, China's independent refiners are buying sanctioned Iranian crude again and raising their processing rates, making room for Iran's oil to move out of floating and bonded storage and potentially easing the year-end glut on the market.
Chinese teapot refiner
The independent refiners in China's Shandong province, the so-called teapots, have been buying cheap Iranian oil from onshore storage in China, including bonded storage, since the Chinese authorities issued a fresh batch of import quotas last week.

Alongside calling out irresponsible unchecked EU immigration policies, it further cites the curbing of free speech - also with the support for EU censorship excesses by transnational elite institutions, describing that "should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less."

Jeff Rowe grinned with satisfaction when the dashboard of his John Deere combine harvester showed the yield of the first run on his family's farm during this year's harvest: 253 bushels per acre, equivalent to 13.8 tonnes of corn per hectare.
The yield on the 100-acre Schubert parcel was the highest in many years, said Rowe, the CEO of Syngenta Group and the son of the owners of Rowe Farm, Dean and Carol. Located in the corn belt of Illinois state in the US Midwest, the farm used Syngenta's......
