The line graph below shows the oil production and consumption in China between 1982 and 2006.

The given chart illustrates the manufacture and demands of the Chinese for

. Regarding the graph, it can be seen that over the period of the first 12

years

, the usage of

was lower than its production.

Whereas

in 1982, the starting year, the two features both recorded an amount of 2

data was always higher than that of the needs by 1
