If they knew how to do it, they would, but they dont have the ability to do it yet, and there is still the issue of the land and its subsurface are apart of a national wildlife refuge. So even if they had the technology to drill to China or in ANWR's case to Antarctica, that oil is still off limits because of federal law.
