摘要
China and the United States have constantly become interdependent in economic field, and both of them are facing increasingly severe challenges in energy security and price risks, thus cooperation between the two countries become more urgent and promises bright prospects. The two nations should further strengthen their strategic dialogues and exchanges, and try every means to promote substantial cooperation in energy field.
During U.S. President Bush＇s visit to China on September 19-21, 2005, leaders of the two countries stated that China and the U.S. would further enhance strategic dialogues and cooperation in various fields including energy. Taking a series of recent events, such as Sino-U. S. strategic dialogue, Sino-U. S. energy dialogue and the Energy Office the U.S. newly opened in China, into consideration, we have reasons to believe that Sino-U. S. energy frictions sparked by ＂China oil threat＂ and CNOOC＇s （China National Offshore Oil Corporation） bid for Unocal will be further defused and that Sino-U. S. energy cooperation which is well based is likely to embark on a new phase. As the world＇s two most important energy consumers and im- porters, the trend of their energy cooperation will not only affect the future relations of these two big powers, but also reshape the international energy structure and even the international political and economic structure.
