"China is the reason for higher energy prices due to unexpectedly higher consumption,"

True. This is the most important factor.

"something the OPEC oil ministers failed to see,"

Doesn't matter if they 'foresaw' it or not... there is little they can do to control the situation. (Of course, they are quite happy with present day higher prices).

"not Iraq, Iraq is pumping at pre-war levels..."

Not yet, there are not.
