Abstract
China's energy dilemma is examined in this chapter, along with its historical and geopolitical settings. China's energy initiatives have a major impact on international energy stability because of the country's position as the world's largest energy consumer. The energy challenges caused by fast industrial growth and dependency on fossil fuels are discussed after a brief history of China's energy sector is presented. China's reaction to these challenges is dissected, including the measures it has taken to diversify its energy supply, increase the use of renewable energy, boost energy efficiency, and get involved in global energy governance. The chapter analyzes the effects of these policies on China's economy, social stability, environment, and foreign relations, both at home and abroad. The chapter wraps up with a glimpse into the future of China's energy plans. A sustainable and secure global energy system is the goal of the analysis, and it can help guide stakeholders in the right direction.
