With the deepening industrialization and urbanization of China for the next 20 years, the energy demand will further increase. China' s energy supply and security now faces unprecedented challenges and uncertainties. To ensure energy supply and security is one of the core issues of China' s sustainable development. At present, China' s energy strategy lacks overall planning and future energy demand is heavily underestimated. Its system defects and unreasonable industrial structure cumber the development of energy industry in China. In order to meet the huge energy demand in China, the country should actively engage herself in the global energy cooperation and participate in the establishment of new international energy systems. At the same time, there should be a comprehensive energy strategy for international energy issues. Energy policy of the country should be treated as part of the public policy. First, diversified strategic arrangement should be taken, with great importance paid to neighboring countries of rich resources; second, both land resources and marine resources should be scientifically developed; third, the comprehensive means of trade, investment and finance should be adopted.
