That oil never gets to the world market - just helps to further the PRC's goal of natural resource acquisition.

Couple this with the Petrokhazakhstan buyout by China National, CNOOC's failed takeover of Unocal and their lending a financial helping hand to Putin in re-nationalizing prime Yukos assets and you can see that the PRC is taking steps to hoard oil and protect distribution routes in preparation for a move on Taiwan in the next 5-10 years.
