A Study On International Diversification Strategy Of China 's Energy Security

Energy security which is directly related to the survival of a nation, generallyconsists of energy transportation security, energy supply security and environmentalsafety. The main problems currently facing China’s energy security contains irrationalconsumption structure, over-reliance on oil and gas, ecosystem suffering from severedamage, over-concentrated source of energy supply, as well as the single mode ofenergy transportation. Irrational consumption structure is the root of the abovementioned questions. Diverse and low-carbon energy consumption is the major trendof the adjustment of energy consumption structure. The main way to solve theproblems regarding China’s energy security is the diverse energy consumptionstructure, supplemented by diverse energy supply while improving the security ofenergy transportation.Natural gas, especially shale gas should be the main subject of the adjustment ofChina’s energy consumption structure. The cooperation between China and the UnitedStates in shale gas is the necessary way to realize the strategy of China’s diverseenergy consumption. Nowadays, an era of deep-sea and gas development has began,and the axis of the world’s energy consumption started to shift. Under suchcircumstance, Americas should be stressed in the course of the implementation ofChina’s diverse energy strategy, especially Brazil which should be China’s mainenergy partner. Currently, the risk of the mode of maritime energy transportation hasconstantly rising. To ensure the security of China’s energy transportation, it isnecessary to open up the mode of terrestrial energy transportation and combine it withthe mode of maritime energy transportation.
