Energy Issues in U.S.-PRC Relations

The growth of China's economy and energy consumption have played an important role in recent increases in petroleum prices--and this may be only the beginning of long-run changes in global energy markets resulting from Chinese growth. How are the governments of the People's Republic of China and the United States addressing new challenges in energy policy, use, and conservation, and how will their policies affect larger economic and security issues in U.S.-PRC relations? Experts from the PRC's Central Committee Party School (CCPS) and from AEI, joined by former U.S. secretary of energy Spencer Abraham, will discuss these issues as part of AEI's annual meeting with the CCPS.
