China has started filling the tanks of a strategic oil reserve meant to insulate the country from disruptions in supplies, an official said Friday.
The tanks in Zhenhai, a city in the coastal province of Zhejiang, south of Shanghai, are being filled with domestically produced oil, said Xu Dingming, deputy director of the Cabinet's State Energy Office.
Xu didn't say how much oil had been pumped into the tanks or when the process was to be completed.
