能源是經濟和社會發展的重要基礎和戰略資源。近百年中,能源安全不斷的被各國列為首要問題。隨著中國改革開放,國家經濟不斷成長,成為世界經濟大國,其能源的需求量日趨增加,從自給自足到至今依賴進口,使中國將能源外交列為外交戰略的主要目標,藉由走出去得戰略,積極到海外尋找能源。在這種情況下,能源外交顯然將成為繼大國外交與周邊外交後,中國外交政策的第三個重要環節。
開發中國家具有豐富的能源,再加上中國以開發中國家自居,因此開發中國家在中國的外交政策上,佔有重要地位,且可配合中國國家經濟發展。中國藉由其與開發中國家建立並維持良好的外交關係,以為中國尋找迫切需要的能源。
中國積極透過多邊組織或是雙邊接觸,向非洲、拉丁美洲尋找油源。中國能源問題不僅關係著中國的經濟發展,在擴展能源佈局全球的同時,也引起國際的注意,意涵著這是國際能源戰略問題,更是國際外交爭議性議題。
中國為化解能源進口來源過於集中的風險,於是拉美及非洲成為中國石油進口的戰略來源地。中國將觸角伸向拉美及非洲地區,其中對委內瑞拉及蘇丹這兩個國家最為積極,近期拉美的左傾化浪潮,委內瑞拉查韋斯政權與美國對抗,以及蘇丹有關達富爾的人權問題,使得中國的能源外交被國際社會說成與美國分庭抗禮及罔顧人權,造成中國受國際社會的譴責。
本文研究發現,中國與開發中國家能源外交有助於提升中國國際影響力,「能源競爭」與「權力競爭」是中國對非洲及拉丁美洲的能源外交目的。中國的能源外交對各地區之目的有所不同,不一定都是以獲取能源為主要目的,有時權力競爭反而佔據相當的份量,即中國能源外交之目的有時為了能源競爭,此時著重於取得能源;但有時卻不是為了能源競爭,能源本身不是目的,而只是工具,其真正目的是權力競爭。 / Energy is an important strategic resource and the critical basis of economic and social development. During the last hundred years, energy security has been identified as primary problem. With its successful open-door reform, China became the world economic giant of the constantly growing up of the national economy. With the increasing needs of oil energy day by day, China was transferred from an oil self-sufficient country to an oil import one. Now, one goal of the diplomatic strategy is the energy diplomacy. With the strategy of “going out” looking for the energy abroad, China is searching for oil resource actively. In this situation, the diplomacy of energy will obviously become the third important aspect of the China’s foreign policy, in addition to major power diplomacy and diplomacy with neighboring countries.
Developing countries with the abundant energy, plus China itself poses as a developing country, developing countries occupies an important position in Chinese foreign policy in general, China's national economic development in particular. For the purpose of acquisition of oil energy, China has to maintain actively good diplomatic relations for developing countries. So China looks for the oil source to Africa, Latin America through both multilateral organizations and bilateral relations. The question of the Chinese energy is not merely only concerning the economic development of China, but also its global strategy of energy acquisition. So that it has attracted international concerns and became a controversial issue of international diplomacy.
China has made every effort to reduce the risk that the import of energy resources overly concentrates, and, consequently, Latin America and Africa become the strategic source of China's petroleum imports. China stretches the feeler to Latin America and Africa, among them the most positive to these are two countries, i.e., Venezuela and Sudan. The left-leaning political tide in Latin America recently, the regime of Chavez in Venezuela confronting with U.S.A., and the human rights issue of Sudan, China’s energy diplomacy is to be condemned by the international community, because of deliberately confrontation with the United States and ignorance of human rights.
This study discovers that the energy diplomacy will be helpful for China’s influences in the international arena and its major purpose is for either energy or power in Africa and Latin America. The Chinese diplomacy of energy varies in terms of geographic factor. Sometimes, Chinese energy diplomacy is for energy acquisition so as to resolve its development needs, sometimes for power and energy is only an instrument.
