Challenges and countermeasures of China's energy security

Yang, Fan, Wang, Dongcan January 2015 (has links)
To ensure energy security, the first to know what is energy, and second, what are the factors of non-security, means that the challenge of energy security. Finally, puts forward some policy or in the case of a reasonable method to solve it according to these problems. At present, energy security is facing two challenges of structural crisis and crisis management system. Concretely, main problems in that security are analyzed, which are considered to affect China and mostly embody in such four big areas as the great pressure in energy supply, the scarcity of relative energy resources, foreign oil dependence is too large, crisis management systems of energy security, the shortage of green energy. Furthermore the counter measures concerned are proposed, including saving energy and increasing the energy utilization rate, to establish strategic energy reserves, strengthening environmental protection and adjusting the primary energy structure. China's rapid economic growth lead to sharp increase in oil imports. Due to China relies on a single chokepoint, the Malacca Strait, which has caused a high degree of concern about the safety of its energy. Nearly three-quarters of its oil imports flowing through the Strait. In view of its strategic importance to China and China’s little sway on the waterway, this view is mainly focused on China’s energy demand and supply in two aspects of concern. The paper analysis of whether the current energy structure is appropriate and sustainable. Because the energy security is facing China's energy is more and more dependent on imported fuel and the need to convert energy to meet the demand of modern society and the rapid growth of the requirements of the economic challenges. Concludes that the China's new policy should focus on energy efficiency, energy saving, renewable energy and turned to the main energy source of natural gas.

China and Central Asia's Transnational Concerns Require Multilateral Solutions

Tobin, Blake 01 December 2014 (has links)
After seven decades of regional domination, the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 put the whole continent in a state of political and economic uncertainty. The sudden absence of a strong, yet generally predictable hegemon initiated an intense debate centered on whether or not the rise of China posed a grave threat to the region or whether it would bring stability and cohesion to the region. After 23 years of observation, it is now safe to presume that China does not pose a military threat to the region. Simply because China does not have expansionist or aggressive political or economic aims does not mean that there should be no cause for concern. China does possess persistent political, economic, and security concerns that, despite the nation's best efforts, has not been able to solve. Domestically, examples of these concerns are illegal smuggling, weapons and human trafficking, illegal narcotics, organized crime, Islamic fundamentalism, ethnic nationalism, and Islamic militancy. Internationally, China has had a hard time, not only dealing with the aforementioned list, but also with piracy, ethnic unrest, anti-Chinese sentiment, corruption, and illegal port activities. The reason the solution to these problems remains elusive is the fact that they all share a common element. The element is that they are all transnational in nature; the events themselves, not fully encapsulated within the borders of just one nation-state. This makes them extremely difficult for a single nation-state to be able to effectively deal with them. It happens that Central Asian nations and littoral nations of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore are also afflicted with many of the same issues. This fact is why it will take a comprehensive and coordinated effort in order to effectively deal with the underlying causes which contribute to these problems before any noticeable effect will take place. These efforts, or transnational solutions, are the most effective way to deal with transnational concerns. Research, observations, and the case studies demonstrate that many of the most pressing transnational concerns have similar underlying factors. Income inequality, government repression, and lack of economic opportunity are a few of the most prevalent factors. The obstacles these factors cause are not insurmountable. However each one of these problems require a concentrated and coordinated effort and the cooperation of multiple nation-states. International Organizations, such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, are effective mediums in which to accomplish this. What is repeatedly observed is that transnational problems are best solved using transnational solutions.

The Strait Defense: A Case Study Comparison of Global Straits

Endicott, Travis Wayne January 2016 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The global climate is creating more ice-free waters in the Arctic. These new navigation possibilities around the Arctic lead to increased global trade, tourism, and oil and gas exploration. With the foreseeable increased nautical transportation through the Northwest Passage, the United States needs to revisit its security posture in and around the Bering Strait. At least five different grand strategies are potentially relevant in addressing this question. By comparing the suggestions of these leading grand strategy approaches to what has actually been implemented by the United States in the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Malacca, and the Panama Canal, similarities emerge that can help the United States shape their strategy for the defending of its national interests in the Bering Strait. By testing the different grand strategies against three reasonably similar cases, I find that a forward military presence and supporting a liberal institutionalist approach are the two key aspects that the United States should employ in the Bering Strait. Increasing and improving the military presence that the United States has in the region should be a top priority. In addition, supporting the Arctic Council would provide an increased level of security to the United States and other nations in the region. This strategy is not without its challenges and it will require artful statecraft in order to be successful.
