SINGAPORE, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Oil demand in China, the world's largest oil importer, is expected to fall by 600,000 barrels a day in 2026, or 3.9% from the previous year, as high crude prices curb consumption and more people buy electric vehicles, the Sinopec Economics & Development Research Institute said.
