Study on China's Energy Development Strategy

Abstract

China is at a critical stage of development from late industrialization to modernization, and is still in the basic conditions of energy resources supporting the sustainable development of the national economy. The world today is facing unprecedented turmoil situation since the end of the cold war. The ongoing political and military crisis in Europe has accelerated the transformation of the world's geopolitical map and profoundly affected the global supply, demand and trade pattern of energy resources. Nowadays, the "four circles and two systems" pattern of global oil and gas supply and demand is undergoing major adjustments, and the competition in the clean energy mineral supply chain is intensifying. The three major security shortcomings of China's important resources:seriously insufficient domestic supply, limited overseas sources and constrained transportation channels have not been significantly improved, except for energy resources such as coal and rare earths. Under the background of great power competition, uncertainties in the international environment are increasing, and the external environment for China's development will tend to be more complex. This study provides relevant opinions and suggestions on improving the supply flexibility of domestic energy resources, scientifically planning the layout of overseas energy resources development, and actively promoting the global governance of energy resources.
