It is obvious to all that the price of refined oil in China is too high. It's just that many people are still in the dark and don't know the truth. Recently, many people can only use "can the oil mixed with high-priced wine be inexpensive?" To ridicule the rise and fall of oil prices in China, in order to express their helplessness and indignation. In fact, the "high-priced wine" incident is only a "cancer" of corruption that grows under high oil prices, and it has no substantial connection with high oil prices.

So, what is the real driving force behind high oil prices? Through careful analysis, experts believe that China's oil price is higher than that of the United States, and the first reason is high taxes and fees. China's gasoline tax is about twice the average level in the United States, while China's refined oil price has been set by the government, so the terminal retail price can't fully reflect the cost and income in all aspects of production and sales. Therefore, in the opinion of experts, the prices of refined oil products between China and the United States are not very comparable.

That's right. Think about it. At the end of August, 2065438+00, crude oil futures fell by 8.9% that month, but the National Development and Reform Commission delayed the price reduction on the grounds that the rate of change of international oil prices did not meet the adjustment conditions. On the contrary, it ushered in another round of increase in June, 20 10. But so far, the National Development and Reform Commission has not given any explanation for "not meeting the adjustment conditions". The only explanation is that the oil price has soared from 20 10 to Tomb-Sweeping Day this year. In the total price, diesel oil and gasoline are added with consumption tax and 17% value-added tax respectively.

There is no doubt that high oil prices will lead to a sharp rise in social instability. It is understood that since the price increase after Tomb-Sweeping Day this year, many gas stations in Beijing have also stopped small preferential activities, which is undoubtedly worse for many consumer groups who need to drive in their daily lives without government subsidies. What is even more contemptible is that these two "oil tigers" not only don't know how to benefit the people and feed back the society, but only care about their own enjoyment after gaining huge profits through constant price increases. The highly criticized "high-priced wine" incident is only the "tip of the iceberg" of oilfield corruption. It is said that Chen Tonghai, the former boss of Sinopec, who was sentenced to death with a reprieve, famously said, "What is a social butterfly of12 million a month? If you don't spend money, you won't make money. "

According to relevant information, the proportion of oil imported by China is 55%, and 45% of crude oil comes from China. Moreover, the special income collected by the government from the exploitation of domestic oil is very low. The oil giants develop domestic oil at a low price and then sell all the refined oil to the people at international prices. It can be seen that the negative impact of industry monopoly and excessive dependence on imports on consumers and industries has become more and more obvious. Therefore, the relevant departments should also investigate and evaluate whether the high oil price is reasonable, so that the oil price in China can return to a reasonable level, and innocent consumers should not always pay for the high oil price for no reason.
