Commodity Oil
......
Currently, the US Department of Energy is obligated by law to accept the highest bids at SPR auctions, with exceptions to decline to sell crude only made for entities sanctioned by US authorities. As such, nearly 1 million barrels from the SPR were awarded last year to Unipec America, a subsidiary of the Chinese state-owned oil company Sinopec, drawing intense criticism from Republicans.
......
Republicans have accused the Biden administration of draining the country's strategic oil reserves for political purposes following an unprecedented 180-million-barrel release over several months to combat energy price hikes spurred by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Crude volumes at the SPR stood at 371.58 million barrels the week ended Jan. 6, according to the Energy Information Administration, the lowest level since December 1983.
Efforts to replenish the SPR have yet to pan out.
......
The politicization of the SPR is expected to remain a central focus of House Republicans

Why would China want to buy oil from USA?
More likely USA will buy Russian oil via 3rd party India and China because of self imposed sanctions on Russia

US strategic oil reserve is already depleting and enough for only 18.5 days of import-free usage (vs the initial 30 days).
But to reciprocate, China should also ban the export of its strategic rare earth elements.
After Depleting Oil Reserve, Biden’s Energy Department Refuses to Fill It Back Up

Your self admission is ironic.
Notice how US gov own "anti-CCP" attitude is similar to an ignorant fool with another self-ban law ?
