Chinese oil majors, including Sinopec, have been forced to resell term LNG or renegotiate deals due to strong competition from cheaper and abundant spot supplies.
"We were facing strong domestic market pressure ... thus the need to boost global trading of LNG," Chen told Reuters on the sidelines of a gas industry conference in Beijing.
