BEIJING， Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- China's Ministry of Commerce announced on Thursday that the quota for non-state crude oil imports will stay unchanged at 87.6 million tonnes for 2017.
The volume is equivalent to around 26 percent of China's crude imports last year.
Applicants for the crude oil import quota shall provide records about crude oil imports for the past two years or qualifications to process imported crude oil， according to MOC rules.

MELBOURNE， Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- A Syrian refugee who only began learning English in 2014 after escaping his war-torn country has graduated as the top student at one of Australia's largest secondary Catholic schools.
Saad Al-Kassab has been celebrated as dux (top student) of Catholic Regional College Sydenham， in Melbourne， after earning an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) of 96.65.

"I felt really happy. I was just overwhelmed，" he told ABC News Australia on Tuesday.
Before departing Syria， Saad studied at home with his mother while sheltering from mortars and airstrikes in their home city of Homs.

He has already been offered a scholarship at Monash University in Melbourne， and hopes to study biomedicine or medicine. His lack of English skills initially made it difficult for him to enrol in a school in Australia but he persisted with the language and， after four months， began to steadily improve.
An inspiration to those among his family back home in Syria， Saad is relishing the opportunity to thrive in Australia and hopes to impart his knowledge back in his homeland one day.
"I'm really grateful for being given the opportunity to be able to come to Australia and study here. Despite all the difficulties， I was given a new life，" he said.
"I really wish I can pay it back one day."
Saad， who has also been working at his school as a gardener to earn money， was this week one of 49，765 students across Victoria to receive their Year 12 Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) in 2016.
