On September 19, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce answered a reporters question regarding the US signing the "Graham Act of 2026 on Sanctions Against Russia and Iran" into law. China has consistently opposed unilateral sanctions lacking UN authorization and a basis in international law, and opposes so-called secondary sanctions against other countries based on the involvement of third parties. China has always conducted normal economic and trade cooperation with all countries in the world on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. Such cooperation is neither targeted at any third party nor subject to interference or coercion from any third party. We will continue to closely monitor subsequent US actions and reserve the right to take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard Chinas national sovereignty and development interests, as well as the legitimate rights and interests of its enterprises. We hope the US will work with China to maintain stable economic and trade relations through dialogue and consultation, and make greater contributions to maintaining world trade order and the security and stability of global supply chains.On September 19, the General Office of the Peoples Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region recently issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Guangxis Financial Industry."

In Colombia, natural gas consumption has outpaced production

According to our most recent Colombia Country Analysis Brief, Colombia imported 14,2 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas to help meet its natural gas demand for electricity in 2020, when a drop in hydroelectric power was caused by drought.


In 2020, hydroelectricity will contribute to around 65% of Colombia's electrical generation, down from nearly 80% in earlier years. Since hydropower is Colombia's principal energy source, droughts may have a significant effect on the country's electrical producing mix.


The bulk of natural gas used in Colombia is produced domestically and employed to create electricity. In recent years, imports have progressively bridged the gap between domestic natural gas production and domestic demand. In 2020, Colombia produced 399 Bcf of dry natural gas, while domestic consumption was 413 Bcf.


Concerns over the reliability of the nation's electricity supply prompted the Colombian government to approve the Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) LNG import plant in November 2014. The facility started operations in November 2016. The administration has since proposed the Pacific Regasification LNG terminal as the nation's second LNG import plant.


EPM is currently developing the new hydroelectric dam project Ituango. The first of eight 300-megawatt generating units will commence operating in the second part of 2022. The whole project will have a capacity of 2.4 gigawatts when it is finished in 2025. If completed, the Ituango project would be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Colombia in terms of generating capacity. In 2020, the installed electrical production capacity of Colombia was 17 gigawatts.
