China Slams the Door on US Gas — LNG Imports Frozen, Tariffs Soar to 49%
A silent energy war is brewing. For over ten weeks, China hasn’t imported a single drop of liquefied natural gas...
The freeze, triggered by a rapidly escalating tariff now sitting at a crushing 49%, has priced US LNG out of China’s massive market. A single shipment from Texas made it through before the curtain fell. The next? Diverted to Bangladesh.
Experts warn this could be the final nail in the coffin for future US-China LNG deals. “I don’t think Chinese LNG importers will ever contract any new US LNG,” said Anne-Sophie Corbeau of Columbia University.
As China pivots toward Russian energy, the ripple effects could upend major infrastructure plans across North America — and mark a new chapter in the global energy chess game.
