China is one of the fast growing economies of the world and is
considered as the third economy after the European Union and the
United States.Growth rates are presented stable and increasing in
recent years while the country's industry is growing rapidly.Furthermore,
in China resides the largest population in the world.These parameters
are conditions that contribute to the significant increase in energy
demand in China.Also, the issue of energy security is very important for
the grand strategy of the country, as both survival and the
continuation of these increased economic growth rates largely
depend on the satisfaction of its energy needs.China has made
investments for the exploitation of domestic natural resources and has
tried to create the appropriate agreements at regional level in order to
satisfy its energy demand mainly due to the fact that domestic
production is less than the total of domestic needs.Moreover, there is a
shift towards Renewable Energy and significant investment in mining
rare earth elements has achieved which play a key role as input
materials for new technologies in the energy sector.
