China's coal imports fell compared to the same month last year

In December last year, he imported about 30.91 million tons of coal, with a 4.3% drop from the previous month and 0.14% from the same month last year.

The main reason for the decline in coal imports was the slow industrial action in China, caused by the increased COVID-19 cases following the government's ease of epidemic control.

China's coal imports were expected to recover after the New year's holiday, with the expectation of the mills reopening and economic recovery.

In the entire year of 2022, China's coal imports were 293.2 million tons with a 9.2% drop per year.
