International Energy Security Situation and Suggestions on China' s International Energy Cooperation
With the supply and demand of energy continuously growing in a fragile energy pricing system, we are now facing intense political conflicts over energy in a severe energy environment. The international energy security is far from satisfying. China, facing the prominent problem of energy environment, is a large and fast growing energy consumer primarily consuming coals with relatively low efficiency and heavy reliance on external resources. In recent years, China has seen rapid development in new energy and renewable energy, and made fruitful achievements in energy-saving despite new challenges. Based on an analysis on the international energy security situations and China's energy consumption characteristics, this paper proposes some principles and suggestions on China's international energy cooperation.
