Özet

China is taking steps to ensure energy security in meeting its energy demands. These involve investments made in projects of exploration and operation of oil deposits abroad, implementation of negotiations concerning the necessity of international oil and natural gas pipelines, formation of strategic oil reserves, construction of refineries to process oil that comes from the Middle East, development of natural gas industry, and gradual opening of off-shore areas to foreign companies for research and development. China is taking these steps due to its concerns about dependence on imported energy because this dependence on imported energy resources may be used by forces that want to influence or pressure China.
