ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book clearly indicates the future trends and developments within the context of the 'frame' which is being designed. Energy security, is still a China-centred affair, as if one country's security could systematically mean insecurity for other countries. China has definitely chosen and managed to enjoy more energy security and has adjusted its organization and governance accordingly. The book also suggests that new efforts have been deployed at home in terms of improving energy efficiency, and that China has taken into consideration environment policies and best practices in terms of construction and urban development, although enforcement remains very weak. Equally, the shift away from the age-old energy mix has started.
