ABSTRACT
The aim of this paper is to present the consequences of the energy revolution for
China’s energy security policy. In the 21st century, China became a key actor
on the international energy market. It is an indispensable source of demand and
financing for many countries dependent on the export of energy resources. China
effectively uses the energy sector to strengthen its political and economic position
in the international system. Paradoxically, in current market conditions, dependence
on oil imports is China’s potential advantage.
