International oil prices have exceeded 100 yuan; what profound impact will this have on China’s economy? I hope everyone can share more of their thoughts.
There is definitely an impact; the current rise in prices across the board is related to the increase in costs of essential resources such as energy and electricity. We should trust that our **will take some proactive measures to alleviate this situation and reduce its effects.
The impacts should be multifaceted. Some may appear earlier, some later; some have a greater impact while others have a lesser one. If oil prices remain high, and given China’s high proportion of oil imports, then if the prices of all types of vehicle fuels rise, at least the costs of taking taxis and public transport will increase as well. I remember when I first arrived in Jinan to go to school in 2000, the bus fare was 0.5 yuan; after three months it rose to 0.6 yuan, and at one point it even reached 1 yuan! Since the maximum monthly allowance at that time was around 200 yuan, taking a bus ride cost me 1% of my \"monthly income\".
Our country is one of the largest importers in the world, and its impact is certainly significant!!! At present, many of Sinopec’s refining units are operating at a loss, relying solely on government support (there may be various reasons for this, but rising oil prices are definitely a key factor!! Inflation these days can certainly be attributed in part to rising oil prices)
Rising prices are related to the increase in costs of basic energy sources such as energy and electricity. Currently, **controls are in place to prevent increases in the prices of refined oil, out of fear that other companies will drive up prices.
