RAEL’S COMMENT:
They are the majority of Human population. The same way a really democratic United Nations Organization should have votes with each nation represented having a voice proportional to their population. To see in any decision the vote of Monaco having the same power as China is like a joke. How can a tiny principality have the same power in votes than a 1.5 billion people country? China, India and other big countries should leave the UNO and create a new international organization with voices representative of their population. Of course the imperialist US likes the actual system where they can force tiny nations to support their views in votes under the threat to lose financial aid.
Two of the world’s largest oil buyers are teaming up and looking to leverage their power by jointly sourcing crude at a better price.
China and India—two of the world’s largest oil importers and the biggest demand growth centers globally—are close to setting up an oil buyers’ club to have a say in the pricing and sourcing of crude oil amid OPEC’s cuts and US sanctions on Iran and Venezuela, Indian outlet livemint reports, citing three officials with knowledge of the talks.
This is not the first time that the two major oil importers are working to create such an oil club.
India and China have discussed creating an ‘oil buyers’ club’ to be able to negotiate better prices with oil exporting countries and will be looking to import more US crude oil in order to reduce OPEC’s sway, both over the global oil market and over prices, India’s Petroleum Ministry said in June 2018.
“With oil producers’ cartel OPEC playing havoc with prices, India discussed with China the possibility of forming an ‘oil buyers club’ that can negotiate better terms with sellers as well as getting more US crude oil to cut dominance of the oil block,” a tweet from the Petroleum Ministry’s Twitter account said in the middle of last year, when oil prices were rising ahead of the return of the US sanctions on Iran’s oil industry.
According to the officials cited by livemint, China and India have exchanged senior-level visits several times since then and have made progress on “joint sourcing of crude oil.”
Reports of the strengthened Chinese-Indian cooperation in potentially forming an oil buyers’ club come just as the US sanction waivers for all Iranian oil customers expire this week.
