Summary:

China and Russia are giant countries whose recent economic and energy experience could hardly be more different: in the one, unprecedentedly rapid industrialisation has sent its share of world primary energy consumption soaring from 7 to 20 per cent since 1985 (overtaking the USA); in the other the collapse of centrally planned industry has reduced its share from 11 to 6 per cent during the same period. China has tried to exploit its modest energy endowments sparingly, while forging a world-wide supply structure that prevents it from being deprived of the imports its economy needs. Russia meanwhile has become a major oil and gas exporter, possessing more than 20 per cent of the world's gas reserves, part of which it is eager to see to China. Inevitably, therefore, energy is at the centre of relations between these two countries. Book jacket.
