“China receives 50 to 60% of its energy needs from the Middle East.”
While China sources approximately 40% to 50% of its *crude oil* imports from the Middle East, oil accounts for less than 20% of China's total energy consumption.
The claim conflates the proportion of China's oil imports sourced from the Middle East with its total energy needs; because oil is only a fraction of China's total energy mix (which is heavily reliant on coal and increasing amounts of renewables), the actual percentage of total energy needs met by Middle Eastern energy is significantly lower than 50–60%.
