Securing access to ample and affordable energy supplies - energy-supply security - has underpinned its rise and will continue to contribute to its economic prosperity. This chapter examines China’s energy-security challenge with respect to its policies. The global energy system is currently undergoing a multi-energy transition away from fossil fuels: the powers will take different paths, creating competition between one another and thus between energy sources. The development of China’s energy-security policies and challenges as well as climate change, both at home and abroad, will therefore shape this competition and the global energy transition in the coming decades.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessChinaEnergy-supply securityFossil FuelsMulti-energy transitionRenewable energyBook Part20121710.1142/9781786349224_00082-s2.0-851089309170
