China will raise its retail prices of gasoline and diesel from Tuesday, following a sharp rise in international oil prices, the country's top economic planner said on Monday.
Gasoline and diesel prices will increase by 695 yuan (about 100.5 U.S. dollars) and 670 yuan per tonne, respectively, according to a statement released by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
The NDRC's price monitoring center said that developments in the Middle East will be the key factor influencing global oil price trends in the period ahead.
China's three biggest oil companies -- the China National Petroleum Corporation, the China Petrochemical Corporation, and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation -- and other refineries have been directed to maintain production and facilitate transportation to ensure stable supplies.
Relevant departments in various regions should intensify their market supervision and inspection efforts. They should implement strict measures to crack down on activities that violate national pricing policies to ensure market order, the NDRC said.
China to raise gasoline, diesel retail prices
China's judicial authorities have effectively worked to safeguard public safety and fight against organized crimes on a regular basis over the past year, according to a work report of the Supreme People's Court submitted Monday to the national legislature for deliberation.
The work report was delivered by Zhang Jun, president of the Supreme People's Court, at the second plenary meeting of the fourth annual session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) in Beijing.
"Over the past year, we have effectively worked to safeguard public safety. We have maintained a regular campaign against organized crime and criminal gangs, and intensified punishment for new types of drug-related crimes, and continued efforts to curb drunk driving. The number of people sentenced for drunk driving fell from about 320,000 in 2023 to around 230,000 in 2025, with declines also seen in traffic accidents, deaths and injuries caused by drunk driving. Sixteen ringleaders of four major criminal gangs in northern Myanmar were sentenced to death in accordance with law. Crimes committed against Chinese citizens overseas are being punished according to law," Zhang said at the meeting.
The 14th NPC is holding its fourth annual session from March 5 through March 12.
