Worse for us is that China is buying 500,000 barrels more oil than what they need. They plan on storing it for when the price rebounds.

The whole West is. China is cashing in on their Western reserve debts and stockpiling resources at the same time. 
It's economic end times. Far more people than ever will be starving in another year, all around the world.

Not just the US. All of the West. China is cashing in and bulk buying when and where the prices are cheap. Trillions of dollars worth are up for exchange now. Western governments are rushing to China's ear in order to convey a need for a soft approach, lest it rattles markets too much. 
It won't help. 
Pay down your debt and bulk up on your provisions. Interesting times are ahead.

Valuations are high, the global economy is weakening, and U.S. corporate profit will suffer as a result, he said.
"If you're simply relying on a long-only portfolio to make your returns over the next seven years, you are whistling past the graveyard," he said. "There are a dozen different trading strategies; find a group of them that will work some of the time."
Mr. Mauldin, the chairman of Mauldin Economics and the man behind the popular investment newsletter Thoughts from the Frontline, was in Toronto on Thursday to speak at the CFA Society Toronto's annual forecast dinner.
Most of his forecasts stemmed from a view on slowing global growth. China pace of expansion is shrinking, although Mr. Mauldin does not foresee a hard landing absent a "serious policy error."
