(a) China's Shale Gas Output Jumps in 2016. Xinhua, July 11, 2017

("Its shale gas yield increased 76.3 percent to 7.9 billion cubic meters in 2016, a record high, the Ministry of Land and Resources (MLF) said Monday in a statement")

My comment: There is no need to read the rest of this report. With this report, I merely wish to demonstrate that 页岩气 in the Chinese-language reports means shale gas. I doubt the veracity of the reports, though, because it is hard to get shale gas outside US, from past experience. The problem is to retrieve shale oil or gas, it takes a lot of water, and requires almost undisturbed shales. China has neither in areas with large shale gas reserve, with earthquakes disrupting shales
