China’s ubiquitous presence in Africa, Asia and Latin America is reshaping the world with regards to economics, politics and national security.

It offers a comprehensive examination of China’s energy security strategy.

The first two chapters delve into Chinese relations with energy markets and the world, and the global geopolitics of China's resource quest.
