The east coast pipeline that TCPL is working on, could also provide petroleum sales outside of North America.

agreed. by 2030 analysts estimate that China will use ~70% more energy than the U.S.
and China has already taken huge initiative to secure oil for themselves by Chinese companies (usually government controlled) comprising a huge stake in the oil sands.
PetroChina, CNOOC (takeover of Nexen), China Petrochemical Corp aka Sinopec, China Investment Corp, etc. all have major stakes or at least a foothold in the Oil Sands.
not to mention Husky being Chinese owned as well.
