据外媒6月21日北京报道，中国海关总署21日在北京公布的最新统计数据显示，俄罗斯5月份再次击败沙特阿拉伯成为中国最大原油供应国，这是在向中国市场提供原油中世界最大的石油生产国连续第三个月超过世界最大的石油出口国。
俄罗斯5月份向世界第二大石油消费国出口的原油数量再创新高，这反映了来自中国独立炼油厂的持续强劲需求。
根据统计数据，中国5月份从俄罗斯进口了524.5万吨原油或平均日进口大约124万桶，同比增加了33.7%，这也打破了今年4月份创下的117万桶/天的前一个纪录。
今年前5个月，中国从俄罗斯平均每天进口了106万桶原油，同比增加了41.8%，而中国5月份从沙特阿拉伯平均日进口105万桶原油。

BEIJING: Russia beat out Saudi Arabia as China's largest oil supplier in May, customs data showed on Tuesday, marking the third month in a row the world's biggest oil producer has topped the world's biggest oil exporter in feeding China's market.
Russia's exports to the world's No. 2 oil consumer hit a fresh record and reflect continuing strong demand from China's independent refiners.
China imported 5.245 million tonnes, or around 1.24 million barrels per day (BPd) of crude oil from Russia last month, up 33.7 percent year on year, and beating the previous record in April of 1.17 million bpd.
For the first five months of 2016, Russian imports are 41.8 percent higher than a year ago at 1.06 million bpd, while Saudi Arabian imports averaged 1.05 million bpd.
