By the way, they really aren’t subsidizing the diesel cost by much, if any.

$.64/liter = $2.42/gallon.

Take away just some of our extra taxes placed on gas, and you’ve got the same rate here, also without subsidizing.

Read the article about the costs to the Chinese oil companies -- it says they lose $200 / tonne (A tonne of diesel?)

And remember the exchange rate, per capita income and most costs are still much less over there.

Cheers!

Careful. Go out there with too many facts on China and you will be pounced on.
