『Abstract
China's energy demand and energy imports have increased substantially
in recent 5 years and will continue to grow in future. Increasing
dependency on the world market and the tension between energy
supply and demand clearly show that energy is becoming a major
constraint for China's future economic development. We introduce
the background of China's energy demand and supply in this paper
and discuss China's energy strategy in the twenty-first century,
focusing on growth, energy security and environmental sustainability.
Key words: Chinese economy; energy security; energy strategy』
