CHINA’S ENERGY (IN)SECURITY: AN ASSESSMENT

This article aims to analyze the contours of China's energy (in)security, highlighting the case of electricity, coal and, in particular, oil. The central argument is that China faces a significant energy shortage, which it seeks to fight through, for example, the massive purchases of oil that it has been operating abroad. Indeed, since 1993 - when China became a net oil importer - the Chinese have been investing in a sophisticated 'black gold' diplomacy that enables them to acquire more and more oil to meet their energy needs.
