China imported a record volume of crude oil last month to meet demand from factories and farmers in the world’s fastest-growing major economy.
Purchases increased 11 percent to 23.29 million metric tons, or 5.52 million barrels a day, compared with a month earlier, according to preliminary data released today by the Beijing- based General Administration of Customs. That beat a previous record of 22.27 million tons in June.
