Project Title:

China’s Pursuit of Energy Security through Diplomacy

Investigator(s):

Department:

Start Date:

Abstract:

This study proposes to examine how Beijing uses diplomacy to pursue its energy security and what implications this energy-related diplomacy has for international politics. Pursuing energy security has become a high priority goal in China’s foreign policy. To maintain rapid economic growth and social stability, Chinese leaders are increasingly concerned with the growing dependence of foreign oil imports. China’s drive for economic growth and social development necessitates an increasingly skillful management of its energy-related diplomacy. China’s energy security is a multi-faceted problem. China’s rapid economic growth, expansion of urbanization, and a booming private car ownership all have led to a precipitous jump in China’s consumption of gasoline and natural gas. Twenty years ago, China was East Asia’s largest oil exporter, but since 1993 it has been a net importer of oil. In 2004 China was the third largest oil importer in the world, and it accounted for 31% of global growth in oil demand. Virtually all predictions, Chinese and international, point to a growing pace of Chinese reliance on offshore sources of oil and natural gas. There is little evidence to suggest that this dramatic energy demand will decline soon. Since the 1980s China has become the world’s largest “manufacturing center,” and has flooded the world households with consumer products “Made in China.” To run its factories and to deliver processed goods overseas, the Chinese industry needs a secure energy supply and a larger share of the world total supply. For instance, China’s combined share of world consumption of aluminum, copper, nickel and iron ore doubled from 1990 (7%) to 2000 (15%), is now about 20% and is likely to double again by the end of this decade. For oil consumption, China was well behind many industrialized countries fifteen years ago, and now is no.2 oil consumer in the world, just after the United States. It is true coal continues to serve as the bulk of China’s energy consumption, and China itself is the world largest coal producer. However, the high frequency of coal mining accidents in recent years tarnishes China’s international image. With the UN Kyoto Protocol on climate change entering into force this year, the Chinese government has to face increasing international scrutiny in terms of living up to its share of contributions, and to turn to more clear energy sources other than coal. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, China imported 122.72 million tons of crude oil in 2004, a 34.8 % increase over the previous year. Minus a small amount of oil export each other, China’s net oil import dependence is now close to 40%. Import dependence has manifested itself as an economic and foreign policy challenge for Beijing. First, Chinese energy companies have a short history of “power playing” in the upstream of the international oil/gas industry chain. Comparing with Western oil giants, Chinese oil companies are later comer or freshmen in acquiring drilling concessions in other parts of the world. Yet the energy hunger reinforces the sense of urgency for the Chinese companies to more aggressively pursue access to offshore deposits of oil/gas. CNOOC China National Offshore Oil Corporation's (CNOOC) recent setback in its USD 18.5-billion bid to buy US oil company Unocal is a good case at issue. Second, in exploring gas reserves in the seabed of the East China Sea, Beijing has run into additional difficulties in its political diplomacy with Tokyo, a neighbor that is competing for influence in the entire East Asian region. How the dispute eventually gets resolved potentially has a demonstration effect on how Southeast Asian countries react to China over the exploration of oil and gas in the South China Sea. Therefore, energy has entered a forefront of China’s management of its disputed territorial waters with all its East Asian neighbors. Third, China has demonstrated its interest if not resolve in obtaining access to oil and other vital resources in countries as far away as Gabon and Sudan in Africa, Iran in the Middle East, Kazakhstan in Central Asia, and Venezuela in South America. Chinese diplomats conduct a shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East to promote a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Arab conflict. High profile visits by Chinese leaders to these and other countries have aroused media commentaries in the United States that China and the U.S. are set to go down a geo-strategic collision course resulting from China’s efforts to satisfy its appetite for energy and mineral resources to fuel its economic growth. Russia under Putin is demonstrating that calculations of its own national interest outweigh its declaration of building a strategic partnership with China. The repeated indecision in Russian design of an oil pipeline out of the Russian Far East, presents China with a tremendous challenge in managing its oil supply security. Therefore, China’s pursuit of energy security has strategic implications that can go far beyond the vicinities of Chinese power. It is therefore time to fill in an academic void in systematically analyzing the role diplomacy plays in China’s pursuit of energy security on the world stage. The key questions I seek to address include but not limit to the following: (1) How did China pursue its energy-related diplomacy from the 1950s to the early 1990s? Since China became dependent on imported oil after mid-1990s, what has the Chinese government done to ensure its access to foreign sources of energy? (2) In what ways has China’s import dependence changed Chinese security perceptions of the outside world, especially those of major powers and oil-supplying regions in world politics? As China becomes more dependent on Middle East oil, it is increasingly concerned with sea-lanes of communication (SLOCs), in particular the flow of oil tankers through the Straits of Malacca and the Taiwan Straits. Does that mean the PLA must develop blue-naval capabilities to meet possible threats in the high sea? (3) To what extent has energy security affected the process of China’s foreign policy decision-making? To maximize the government-business nexus and increase coordination between foreign policy and energy needs, national oil corporate leaders accompany state leaders during their overseas trips. The energy-related ministries and large national corporations responsible for energy supply are gaining influence in foreign policy-making. This study attempts to explain why and how. (4) Last but not least, what implications does pursuit of energy security have on theorizing research on China’s diplomacy in the 21st century?

Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the characteristics, political orientations and political roles of the selected radio talk programs in Hong Kong. For example, do they encourage or discourage political participation? Do they promote social reforms and democratic commitment? Do they reflect public opinion? Do they bridge the communication or magnify the conflicts between the government and people? Overall, the study attempts to investigate whether or not “media activism” exists as part and parcel of an activist local political culture. Media activism refers to both the political activism existing in the media and among the citizens who actively consume the media. Media activism, as it exists in the media, refers to the politicization of the media, that is taking a clear political stance, ever conscious of its roles as both a low key voice for the people and a high profile leader in pushing for social and political reforms in Hong Kong. Also, the media channels are important in arousing political discussions and constituting the public’s views. When an issue attracts substantial public concern, the people will at the same time actively participate in the formation of media positions, and tend to have high expectations of the mass media as their voice. The study will primarily involve two parts. Firstly, it contains a content analysis of sampled program sessions of four selected radio talk show programs, namely, “On a Clear Sky” (在晴朗的一天) and “The Tipping Point” (左右大局) of Commercial Radio Hong Kong, and “Millennium” (千禧年代) and “Free to Phone” (自由風自由phone) of Radio Television Hong Kong. The findings will be compared with those previously collected by me on the programs of “Millennium” of Radio Television Hong Kong, and “Political Voices of the Concerned” (政事有心人) and “Teacup in a Storm” (風波裡的茶杯) of Commercial Radio Hong Kong in 2004. Secondly, interviews with key hosts of the selected radio talk shows will be conducted. The interviews aim to obtain qualitative data for an analysis of the political orientations of the programs. Hong Kong’s people have been renowned for their high levels of participation in the media. Scholars have noticed that “discursive political participation” is a staple of local political culture and the mass media has provided a significant political forum (Lam, 2003, 2004). The people are qualified to be called “attentive spectators” who pay a great deal of attention to politics (Lau and Kuan, 1995), and the mass media has played a “surrogate democratic function” in Hong Kong in the absence of democratic participatory channels for the people (Chan and So, 2003). From post-World War II to the present, newspapers have played a vital part in providing a political forum for discursive participation. The small number of participatory channels available has reinforced the role of newspapers as a forum for the public to participate in political debates (Lam, 2004:41-2). Since political handover, radio talk shows have become popular in Hong Kong. Radio talk shows, or more accurately political talk radio, “may be defined as call-in shows that emphasize discussions about politicians, elections, and public policy issues” (Barker and Knight, 2000:151). According to previous studies, radio talk shows serve three major roles. Firstly, radio talk shows provide a public forum for the general population. Being an unstructured channel for public discourse (Herbst, 1993, 1995), they offer a chance to participate in a public discourse, and provide a site for ordinary people to challenge the authority of experts (Hofstetter et al., 1994; Livingstone and Lunt, 1994; Pan and Kosicki, 1997:371; Lee, 2002:59). Secondly, radio talk shows can disseminate information (Hofstetter et al., 1994) and serve as agents that affect listeners’ attitudes (Barker and Knight, 2000:150). Hence, exposure to this programming is found associated with political involvement and activity (Hofstetter et al., 1994:476-7; Hollander, 1997:366), and constitutes a form of political mobilization (Pan and Kosicki, 1997:383). Thirdly, radio talk shows provide identity to a public who can then imagine themselves as part of a group that holds similar views about various issues. The “act of coming together (electronically)” makes this type of participation meaningful for many people (Herbst, 1995:271-2). Paradoxically, radio talk shows are also viewed with negativity, as infotainment that contains nothing substantial (Blumler and Kavanagh, 1999). Infotainment is commonly defined as a type of programming that combines entertainment with information on the media and, further, obscures the line between politics and entertainment. Also known as soft news, infotainment provides information in a way that is entertaining to its viewers (Barker and Knight, 2000:151; Lee, 2002:59). It is manifested by the increasing addition of entertainment elements into conventional information contents, for example, dramatization of news stories (Brants and Neijens, 1998; Schultz, 1995). Evidently, the disadvantage of such shows is that they do not facilitate the articulation of rational political discourse (Lee, 2002:59). In terms of their political stance, radio talk shows in Hong Kong can be roughly divided into pro-government or anti-government alignment. In 2002, a survey on Hong Kong citizens and journalists found that 46.5% of citizen respondents and 77.6% of journalist respondents chose radio programs as the most effective channel for expression of public opinion (Chan and So, 2003:267). In 1997, about 13% of the population were “taking the city’s two highly opinionated public affairs Cantonese talk shows as part of their regular breakfast” (Ho, 1997, cited in Lee, 2002:57). These figures signify that the people are using the mass media to exercise political influence. Together with the newspaper media, radio talk shows have served unique political roles in Hong Kong. The various characterizations of scholars and the findings of this study serve to highlight media activism in Hong Kong. Specifically, this study examines the following research questions in relation to the selected radio talk shows: (1) Their political orientations, for example, the embedded beliefs about democracy, nationalism, the Hong Kong identity, politics and political participation; and their views of the Hong Kong government and the Central People’s government. (2) What parts have they played in reflecting public opinion? How effective? (3) What parts have they played in framing public opinion? How effective? (4) What parts have they played in providing a venue for political participation? How effective? (5) What parts have they played in promoting or discouraging support for democracy? How effective? (6) What parts have they played in promoting other political orientations? How effective? (7) What parts have they played in promoting or discouraging political participation, and how? How effective? (8) Are they political actors and institutions in their own right? Do they act as agents of stability, restraint or change?
