The situation, characteristics and challenges for China’s international energetic cooperation
Wei Xiubai · 153 ·
As one of the earliest industries adopting the “go global” strategy, China’s energy sector, through its international cooperation, demonstrates the country’s economic cooperation with foreign countries. Currently, the global energy situation is generally favorable for China’s development. China’s international cooperation in the energy sector has developed due to new approaches regarding its strategies, scope, projects and regions where cooperation is carried out. Improvement is needed on the market foresight, though, with a focus on the development of the strategic emerging industries. China must raise its voice, strengthen its ability to set the agenda, and provide public goods in order to strengthen its position in the global governance of energy.

Strategic Research on the Belt and Road Initiative -- reflecting new features of the initiative
Zhai Kun & Zhou Qiang · 158 ·
The implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative has provided a strong impetus for the development of relevant academic and policy research. If the initiative can last long enough and gain influence strong enough, it will become a synonym for “the relationship between the rising China and the world”. The article further predicts a new category of science specifically dedicated to the Belt and Road. The book Strategic Research on the Belt and Road Initiative written by Liu Weidong, Tian Jinchen and Ou Xiaoli et al. (published by the Commercial Press in January 2017) shows that practice and research go hand-in-hand and that they aid each other in the Belt and Road era.
