　　Zhu Feng, Deputy director of the anti-smuggling bureau under China's General Administration of Customs says: "Oil smuggling harms our country's economic order and leads to unfair market competition. Many legal enterprises have been impacted. Oil smuggling also involves tax evasion³."

　　According to Chinese customs authorities, the smugglers have developed a wide variety of methods and the smuggling of refined oil is rampant⁴ across the country.

　　The smuggled⁵ oil contains large amounts of impurities⁶ and falls beneath quality standards.

　　This of course poses huge a potential threat to the public safety.

　　China has intensified⁷ its crackdown on refined oil smuggling since last month.

　　The customs authorities have detected 28 refined oil smuggling cases nationwide, involving around 2.7 billion yuan.
