Chinese explore for oil, gas in other countries  

驻卡尔加里总领事:中国公司在加开采油气资源未输回国

中国驻卡尔加里总领事刘永凤20日在此间接受记者专访时表示，到目前为止，中国公司在阿尔伯塔省开采的油气资源基本未输往中国，而是以市场价格在当地出售。

Calgary (CNS) -- Chinese companies are exploring oil and gas resources in Alberta and selling it locally at market prices rather than transporting it to China, admits Liu Yongfeng, Consul General of China in Calgary, Canada.

Liu said many people question or misunderstand Chinese investment in the energy sector. Some have even argued that Chinese enterprises, especially state-owned ones, are investing in Canada with the aim of controlling local natural resources, and the moves are potential threats to the country's security.

But actually, the Chinese companies that target Canadian resources are motivated by the market, said Liu, the companies just go where they have the benefits of doing business.

China has become Alberta's second largest trade partner.
