The DOE says differently with regards to china.

We get most of our oil from here, Saudi, Canada, Mexico, the North Sea and Venezuela right?

IT doesn't but we prefer not to have as much sulfur in the air around our cities. The change in Diesel fuel's has also seen a similar change to low sulfer. The Military switch to JP5/8 over Diesel has also seen a requirement for lower sulfur content (Kerosene vs Distillates and such). Personally, I don't mind that we have lower sulfur content in our city air as Atlanta can get some pretty bad smog days. It does help that the buses are all LP now.
