Bosnia has a population of 3.3 million. The US spent $15 Billion during the conflict, mostly on military, a little bit post war. $4500 for every man, woman & child.
Put another way, Bosnia's total GDP is about $18 Billion. The US spent 83% of Bosnia's GDP on our "contribution" to the war.
And it was just one little insane & forgotten war at the end of the War Century.
Pretty sure this diesel didn't travel all the way from China. As in the case of "American" LNG, a lot of it was produced in Russia, bought by US traders and sold in Europe as "stick it to Russians - freedom natural gas". Politics is one thing and commerce is quite another.
Silly restrictions aiming to subvert markets inevitably lead to creative workarounds. There are doubtless lots of them in progress. That said, I think we can guess that these numbers do for the most part reflect real exports. Ergo, someone is buying that diesel.

China has been making war preparations, its what this entire covid show was all about, and its been one hell of a stress test!
