『Abstract
This paper argues that both China and the Western countries need
to de-politicize China's global quest for energy security. The
Western pollutions need to recognize that their rhetoric in relation
to China's efforts to secure energy supplies overseas has done
nothing but intensify China's fear that they might seek to deny
China's access to the oil it needs for the development. China
needs to reconsider its stance of distrusting global oil markets
and to recognize that the reliance on aggressive acquisitions
of overseas oil fields and equity oil production has been of little
help in strengthening its energy security. Given that China's
energy security depends increasingly and deeply on the stability
of global oil markets and reliable and growing oil supplies to
the market, China shares with other major oil importing countries
profound common interests in maintaining and strengthening the
stability of global oil markets and reducing the chance of potential
disruptions to oil supply and the resulting damaging oil price
shocks.
