The line graph illustrates the amount of oil that has been made and used in China from 1982 to 2006.
Overall, oil manufacturing in China remains steady. However, oil consumption experienced an upward trend.
Starting at 2 millions of oil barrels per day, the figure for oil production sharply increased to 3 millions oil barrels in 1986 before remaining the same until 1994. Whereas, the proportion of oil consumption, despite starting lower than oil production- at 2 million oil barrels, saw a remarkable rise to nearly 3.5 million oil barrels in 1994.
For the rest of the period, the amount of oil barrels that has been created in China experienced a slight increase, specifically, from 3 millions of barrels to around 3.25 millions of barrels. Meanwhile, what happened to the oil consumption in China is much different. Following its previous trend, the amount of oil used in China skyrocketed from nearly 3.5 millions in 1994 to more than 6 millions at the end of the period.
