China still has to pay market price to import oil, it's just that their citizens pay less for gas and diesel than we do. We could do the same thing if our government wanted to (further) subsidize oil. That would just mean that we would have to pay more in taxes on other things. I don't think the gas is taxed enough as it is. Anyway, do you really think our government should subsidize gas?
