Study On Problems,Opportunities And Countermeasures Of The Energy Cooperation Between Xinjiang,China And Central Asia

Energy is necessary for the economic development of a county.At present,China is the world’s second largest energy consumer,and its energy demand is rising.The Nineteenth Congress Report and the 2018 Government Work Report all pointed out that we must comprehensively save resources and effectively promote energy production so as to revolve energy consumption and optimize the energy structure.In2016,China’s crude oil external dependency is 65.40%.The international energy agency estimates that by 2025,China’s crude oil external dependence will reach 82%.China’s energy importing countries are too centralized,and the unstable and unsafe transportation channels pose a threat to China’s energy security and economic development.The central Asian countries adjacent to Xinjiang,China are rich in oil and natural gas resources,and energy cooperation with central Asian countries is conducive to easing China’s energy security problems.The “One Belt & One Road”has brought new opportunities to deepen China’s energy cooperation with central Asian countries.At first,this article reviewed and summarized the domestic and foreign scholar results about energy cooperation between Xinjiang,China and central Asia.On the basis of scholar results,combining with the practical situation of energy cooperation,it analyzes the status of energy cooperation between Xinjiang,China and central Asia,intrinsic motivation and feasibility of the cooperation,and the opportunities and problems of the energy cooperation under the background of the “One Belt & One Road”.Then,it concluded that China’s energy cooperation with central Asian countries can guarantee domestic energy security and economic growth.It also promotes economic growth of central Asian countries.Finally,the paper put forward some suggestions for strengthening the energy cooperation between Xinjiang,China and central Asia in China.It provided a theoretical basis for guaranteeing our country’s energy security and economic growth,and a· lso has a strong practical significance.
