Description
In July 2003, the Chinese Government decided to donate 10,000 tons of diesel oil to North Korea, according to the KCNA. This donation was verified by the Republic of Korea's Ministry of Unification. 10,000 tons of oil is equivalent to 73,000 barrels of oil. Therefore, to estimate the monetary value of this donation ($2,278,164), AidData takes the average price ($31.08) of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (NYMEX) Crude Oil in 2003 and multiplies it by 73,000 barrels of oil.
