Abstract

As a result of the strong economic growth and development in the last two decades, China is facing energy scarcity. Energy self-sufficiency and independence belong to the past and today China is forced to search for the energy outside of its borders, primarily in the oil-rich Middle East. Along with the economic growth further energy consumption, especially of oil and gas, will continue. Gap between consumption and production of energy-generated products is rapidly growing, and it is getting obvious that China will depend more and more on imported oil. This reality made China vulnerable and exposed to undesirable foreign pressures, and China's foreign policy is subjected to China's economic growth.
