| Summary: | In China’s Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Action Plan, newly announced by the country’s State Council, an important measure aimed at addressing China’s severe air pollution problem is the use of natural gas to replace coal in supplying energy. However, because domestic natural gas production cannot meet the rising demand for clean energy, gas imports will have to increase, raising the concern of energy security. Under this new situation, how should China consider its energy security and maintain the balance between energy security and environmental protection? At the same time, the USA’s shale gas revolution is reshaping the global energy market. What does this imply for China’s energy security?
