On August 20, according to China Petroleum News, Saudi Aramco (the state-owned oil company of Saudi Arabia) announced plans to further expand its investment in China's petrochemical industry. The primary reason for this move is China's proactive increase in clean energy capacity, such as solar and wind power, which is expected to drive higher demand for petroleum derivatives like plastics. The Economist magazine has analyzed that Saudi Arabia's investments in this sector are expected to exceed $100 billion over the next decade. It is anticipated that Chinese petrochemical companies will engage in more collaboration with Saudi Arabia in the future.
