  • The Trade War and China's Oil and Gas Supply Security
    HIGH ANXIETY: THE TRADE WAR AND CHINA’S OIL AND GAS SUPPLY SECURITY BY ERICA DOWNS NOVEMBER 2019 “If Oil Supplies Are Cut Off, How Much Oil Does China Have?” —Cover of the June 15, 2019, issue of China Petroleum & Petrochemical1 “Is China’s Oil Supply Still Secure?” —Cover of the August 15, 2018, issue of China Petroleum & Petrochemical2 Introduction In summer 2018, China’s president Xi Jinping, facing pressure from the US-China trade war, intervened in a long-running debate within China’s oil industry about the extent to which national security concerns or market forces should determine domestic oil and natural gas production. Xi effectively tipped the scales in favor of advocates of prioritizing self-sufficiency over cost as part of a broader push for self-reliance amidst trade tensions. As a result, China’s national oil companies (NOCs) are accelerating investment in domestic exploration and production. While this ramp-up in spending is likely to result in an increase in output, especially of natural gas, it is unlikely to alter China’s substantial and growing reliance on oil and natural gas imports. However, the trade war probably will continue to contribute to shifts in the composition of China’s import portfolio, with both traditional and new suppliers gaining shares as a result of the slowdown in the flows of US liquified natural gas (LNG) and crude oil to China and decreases in deliveries of Iranian and Venezuelan crudes due to US sanctions. Xi instructed China’s NOCs to ramp up domestic exploration and production of oil and natural gas to enhance national energy security in July 2018.

    RussianStudiesHu 2021 JIANHUA ZHANG* A REVIEW OF AND REFLECTION ON THE STUDY OF RUSSIAN HISTORY IN CHINA (1878–2015)1 Born at the same time as the nation state and shaped by the world situation, the discipline of Russian history in China has, from its early days taken on three missions: scholarly interest, national responsibility, and academic duties. If we take A Brief Russian History, edited and translated by Lujiang Qijiren in 1878, as its starting point, this discipline has already had a history of 140 years in China. If we date this history back to Russian History, written by Lou Zhuangxing and published by Zhonghua Book Company in 1933, it is 85 years old. This 100- year period was a splendid era, when the discipline of Russian history forged ahead. While cherishing the arduous course of the discipline of Russian History2, it is indeed necessary to review and reflect on this century-old academic field and the research it has produced. Keywords: Discipline of Russian history, Chinese Russian Studies, first generation, second generation, third generation, Sino-Russian relations. Jianhua Zhang – Professor, Vice-President of Chinese Association of History of Russian Empire, Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Director of the Institute of World History, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, P.R.
