As China has become a net importer of energy, it has increasingly come up against the US in competition for the energy of a third state. Examining this triangular relationship, this book includes case studies on China's energy relationship with countries including Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Anola, Nigeria, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Iran, Sudan and Venezuela, and makes a huge contribution to the literature in fields such as US-China relations, international relations, Chinese foreign policy and global energy geopolitics.
