This document summarizes a research paper on China's energy consumption and its implications for regional and international security. The central research questions examine whether China's search for energy poses a threat. Conventional wisdom argues that China's growing energy needs could increase competition, destabilize markets, and threaten security. However, alternative explanations note China's strong economic ties with major powers reduce tensions. The central findings are that China's role as a major economy requires large energy resources, and growing interdependence between China and other nations decreases the likelihood of escalating tensions. The implications call for expanding energy supply sources, maintaining harmonious relationships between countries, and confidence building diplomacy.

Central Research Questions Does Chinas search for energy threat for regional and international security ? To find the answer, a set of sub question has been focused. Such as Relation between china and USA on energy issue Relation between China and Japan on South China sea Chinas energy consumption and global oil market
Chinas Energy Consumption Growth Rate Series 1, 1980, 0.55 Series 1, 1985, 2.71 Series 1, 1990, 0.16 Series 1, 1995, 2.35 Series 1, 2000, 1.3 Series 1, 2005, 14.19 Series 1, 2010, 6.9 Column1, 1980, 0 Column1, 1985, 0 Column1, 1990, 0 Column1, 1995, 0 Column1, 2000, 0 Column1, 2005, 0 Column1, 2010, 0 Column2, 1980, 0 Column2, 1985, 0 Column2, 1990, 0 Column2, 1995, 0 Column2, 2000, 0 Column2, 2005, 0 Column2, 2010, 0 China Total Primary Energy Consumption Annual Growth Rate Conventional Wisdom Conventional wisdom argues that chinas energy consumption growth rate is threat to regional and international security. Their focus points are- Competition over new energy sources Chinas relationship with those states who have contentious relationship with the USA Destabilizing world oil market Security of oil tanker in high seas
Testing conventional wisdom
First, China has a very strong relationship with the oil producing countries like Iran, Venezuela and Sudan. These countries are explicitly opposed to the U.S. policies. Second, Chinese energy supply passes through various sea lanes. As a global super power the United States has a very strong control over the oceans and sea lanes.
Alternative Explanation Alternative arguments mainly liberal school consider chinas search for energy as a peaceful. U.S growing economic dependence on China helps to maintain peace. Chinas peaceful development model diffuse tensions. Leadership perception
Central Research Findings
China has become a growth engine of global economy which requires huge energy resources. Growing interdependence between the U.S and China reduces the possibility of any future escalation of tension.
Policy Implications Enhancement of the existing oil and natural gas supply sources and exploration of new energy resource locations; A harmonizing Sino-US relationship; A tranquil situation in south china sea. Confidence building diplomacy between China and Japan
