 British and the second largest economy, China's annual energy requirements --- only 10% of imports. This is mainly due to China's huge domestic coal reserves, coal provides 70% of China's energy.

China needs to import the amount of energy the world's sixth largest economy and energy demand in the UK quite.

China imports most of its energy is crude oil. Although China is ranked fifth in the world after Iran's largest oil producer, but it is a net importer of crude oil after the United States.

so many of China's energy consumption not only because it is the most populous country in the world --- even though its per capita energy consumption is very low, but also because it is the factory of the world. China's industrial energy needs of the world's 1 / 3, while the figure in the last century, 90 years only 13%. In contrast, the U.S. industrial energy demand in the proportion of the world but never the last century 90's 16% to 13% now.

Although half of China's crude oil imports come from the Middle East, but the Chinese oil company Occidental Petroleum in depth do not want to shift the footprint of the countries involved, such as Sudan and Myanmar.

the Chinese government realized that its imports of oil about 3 / 4 to transport through the Strait of Malacca, while the U.S. Navy has 11 aircraft carriers, the Chinese one at all. To avoid the obstacles to this strategy, China built the Indian Ocean via Myanmar, and the leading gateway to Central Asia and Siberia's oil and gas pipelines.

present, China and the U.S. dependence on foreign oil to form a complementary pattern. China mainly relies on the Middle East and Africa, while the United States and Latin America rely mainly on the northern neighbors.

This reduces the world's two largest economies in the short term the possibility of direct competition for crude oil sources. After all, the United States and not used to dealing with an economic and military rival. Their traditional economic partner, Japan and Germany, are allies of the defeated enemy as the ultimate dependent on the U.S. military to protect its global transportation.

unless a breakthrough environmental technology, or possible future Sino-US two rivals clashed.

in some measure, China is already the world's largest energy consumer, although less than the U.S. per capita energy consumption level of 1 / 3.

the data according to the International Energy Agency, China's per capita energy consumption in 2035 than the world average. If China's energy demand is close to the United States, then the geo-strategic balance will be significant changes.
