Continuing the focus on China, Zhang Chenhui, Associate Professor at State Key Laboratory of Tribology, Tsinghua University, will examine the "Lubricant Requirements of the Metalworking Industry in China" and Director of Base Oil Research at PetroChina Dalian Lube R&D Institute, Wang Dong, will offer an analysis of the Chinese Base Oil Market.
