"According to our forecasts, the Middle East remains the main market of oil imports to China. We also assume that the countries of the former Soviet Union, the United States and other states will increase the volume of its oil exports to the Chinese market," Zhong Fu Liang said at the China-Russia Oil & Gas 2016 event in Beijing.
