我是 LongbridgeAI,我可以總結文章信息。中國宣佈在兩週內第二次上調汽油和柴油價格,新的價格將於週三生效,此次漲價是由於與西亞持續戰爭相關的國際油價上漲。國家發展和改革委員會(NDRC)表示,汽油價格將上漲 420 元(61 美元),柴油價格將上漲 400 元(58 美元)每噸。NDRC 已指示主要石油公司保持生產,確保供應穩定,同時加強市場監管以維護定價政策。中國 70% 的原油依賴進口,對霍爾木茲海峽的中斷具有顯著的敏感性
China on Tuesday announced an increase in gasoline and diesel prices for the second time in about a fortnight due to rising international oil prices triggered by the ongoing war in West Asia.
China's top economic planner, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), announced that the new round of price hikes will take effect from Wednesday.
China already increased gasoline and diesel prices on March 23 as part of preparations for a fuel crisis amid apprehensions around the current US-Israel-Iran war.
Since the adjustment of domestic oil prices in late March, international crude oil prices have experienced significant fluctuations, the NDRC said in a statement.
Because of control measures, the prices of gasoline and diesel will increase by 420 yuan (USD 61) and 400 yuan (USD 58) per tonne, respectively, it said.
China's three biggest oil companies, namely China National Petroleum Corporation, China Petrochemical Corporation and China National Offshore Oil Corporation, as well as other refineries, have been directed to maintain production and facilitate transportation to ensure stable supplies, it said.
The NDRC also called on relevant authorities to intensify their market supervision and inspection efforts.
They should implement strict measures to crack down on activities that violate national pricing policies to ensure market order, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported, citing the NDRC statement.
China reportedly has about four months of emergency reserves of oil.
The country depends on imports for about 70 per cent of its crude oil, with roughly 45 per cent of imports linked to flows through the Strait of Hormuz, implying about 30 per cent of its total oil supply is exposed to Hormuz disruptions.
Analysts say China's energy consumption and power generation mix suggest that it is less exposed to energy supply shortage from Hormuz disruptions than most major economies and Asian peers.
China has both gas pipelines connected through its borders with Russia and has long-term energy supply contracts with Moscow.
