The US has boosted sales of liquefied natural gas to China this year, although the surge may not last if the incoming Trump administration collides with Beijing over trade.
China imported 63% more of the super-chilled fuel from the US in the first 10 months of the year compared to the same period in 2023, according to Chinese customs data released on Wednesday. That lifted the US to fifth in the roster of Beijing’s suppliers, behind Australia, Qatar, Russia and Malaysia.
