I wonder if they're trying to get a leg up on natural resources to corner more markets. They're already an economic powerhouse when it comes to rare earth elements. They also have a pretty strong presence in the natural gas markets (by way of Hong Kong). I don't know how they're set for oil or mainland natural gas, though.
