They also purchased two Canadian oil companies (499 million and $ 7.2 billion) with assets in Nigeria, Gabon, Iraq, Libya and taken stakes in major projects in the gas in Australia (41 billion) and sand sands in Canada. While Europe and North America kept on a drip the banking sector, China bought into balance all that was available in oil.

China is acting like a Rockefeller in the early oil when everybody doubted, it buys "believed with oil, fall is no reason to fear but a chance to buy" John Davison Rockefeller. China has not only the obsession with oil, it also buys coal mines, uranium and invests heavily in renewable energy. Energy policy in China is very, very consistent.
