China is rushing to sign new long-term deals to import more and more liquefied natural gas (LNG), giving it more control over the critical energy source at a time when global demand for gas is rising.
One of the more notable developments is how China Gas Holdings, one of China’s largest private gas distributors, was able to carve out two 20-year LNG supply contracts with Venture Global, an American natural gas exporter. This adds to the whole host of deals signed between Chinese and American companies for American energy exports since 2021.
According to the agreement, China Gas Holdings, through its wholly-owned subsidiary China Gas Hongda Energy Trading Co., will buy two million tons of LNG per year from Venture Global.
The LNG will come from two of Venture Global’s natural gas projects in Louisiana – Plaquemines LNG and CP2 LNG. Each project is expected to provide about one million tons of LNG per year to China Gas Holdings.
In June last year, China Gas Holdings signed another deal with Energy Transfer, a Dallas-based natural gas company, to receive 0.7 million tons of LNG a year on a free-on-board basis for 25 years, with deliveries slated to begin by 2026.
And in 2021, Venture Global signed several more large deals with Chinese firms to export natural gas to the communist nation. This includes a 20-year deal with state-controlled oil and gas company Sinopec to supply four million tons of LNG a year and provide 3.8 million tons of LNG a year to Unipec, a subsidiary of Sinopec.
In 2021, China signed more contracts for natural gas export projects in the United States than any other nation. The country is also locked in deals with other natural gas exporters, including Brunei, Malaysia, Oman and Qatar, the latter of which signed one of the largest LNG deals ever with Sinopec.
China to dominate natural gas market for the foreseeable future
All of these new contracts mean that firms based in China now account for roughly 15 percent of all contracts that will begin delivering LNG up through 2027. This percentage will likely continue increasing as Chinese companies seek to lock in more long-term agreements, which will effectively give Chinese traders even more control over the precious resource for decades.
With a large-enough supply of LNG, China could be poised to become a big reseller of LNG to the highest bidders in Europe and Asia – or to withhold gas sales from global and regional rivals.
Eric Worrall, writing for Watts Up With That?, noted that China’s ambitious plan to shore up more of the world’s LNG comes as Western nations, including the United States, are crippling their own energy security by refusing to invest more on fossil fuels in pursuit of greener energies.

“The obvious counter-strategy to China making themselves the natural gas brokers of the world, and potentially making a fat profit from everyone’s gas bills by pushing up the price, is to break China’s monopoly by flooding Western markets with increased domestic gas production,” wrote Worrall. “But my suggested counter-strategy would require a rational Western political response to energy shortages.”

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
