Reforms could end monopolies in China’s energy sector
More private capital to exploit oil and gas resources. Wang Zhen, deputy director of the institute of energy strategy at the China University of Petroleum, claims monopolies in China's energy sector are coming to end. He noted that reforms will no longer stress state-ownership but will instead focus on competence and willingness to carry out national industrial policy. Reforms will prioritize the needs of the whole oil refining industry, he said. Analysts expect higher imports of refined oil products, allowing more private investors into the business.

How China is managing a critical crossroad
At the same time countries such as Iran proclaim nuclear energy development is “a matter of national pride”, China is evolving practical approaches to a new Asian power paradigm. While not yet abandoning fission and thermal plants, burning over 3.5 billion tons of coal in 2012, and exploring oxymoronic “synthetic natural” gas-i.e. “sin gas”, China is the first developed nation to comprehend and act upon the tightly interwoven environmental true costs of conventional electrical generation, fuel processing, and food production.
