China is a rising global power with a growing role and impact on the world\u2019s energy markets as well as on the Earth\u2019s climate system. China pursues its development in an essentially non-confrontational manner, a vision encapsulated by the notion of peaceful rise which is viewed positively in the world\u2019s major capitals. Nevertheless, China\u2019s rapid growth represents a genuine global challenge and raises many questions. How is China dealing with its growing need for imported crude oil? What is the impact of China\u2019s rise on the global oil market, notably in terms of oil price developments? Are Chinese actions on oil markets different from those of other major importers? What opportunities and risks arise as a result of china\u2019s growing role on the global oil market from the viewpoint of other global players? In this report we seek to offer some answers to those questions with a review of China\u2019s developing energy policy, of the actions and revealed preferences of its national oil companies, and of broader economic and geopolitical analyses of the impact of China\u2019s growing oil consumption on other global players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","jelcode":[264,265,266,267],"keyword":[62,268,269,271,270],"class_list":["post-1132","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","jelcode-q34","jelcode-q41","jelcode-q47","jelcode-q48","keyword-china","keyword-crude-oil","keyword-energy-security","keyword-foreign-oil-policy","keyword-oil-security"],"acf":{"year":2010,"month":1,"day":"","volume":"II","number":"003","pages":83,"reviewed":"","citeid":"FIW_RR_09-003","fiwseries":"FIW Studien","event":""},"yoast_head":"\n
