| Knock, Knock. Hu's There. Oil issue looms as Chinese prez visits White House Buying oil from unsavory regimes, thus ensuring their grip on power. Attempting to lock up oil supplies to increase geopolitical influence. Growing heedlessly and unsustainably, polluting the air and water. These are the kinds of behaviors the world can no longer tolerate from ... China. Wait, whaaa? Seriously: During Chinese President Hu Jint ... |

| Peak-oil enthusiasts and skeptics alike will find much to chew on in this page-one piece from today's Wall Street Journal. By all accounts, China's explosive energy-demand growth over the past several years has strained the ability of OPEC and other oil producers to keep up. Now, the Journal claims, that pressure shows signs of easing: This year, China is on track to account for about 16% of the world's new oil consumption, little more than half last year's share.

Daily Grist |
| Too Many CNOOCs Spoil the Broth Chinese oil firm withdraws takeover bid for Unocal State-owned Chinese oil company CNOOC has announced the withdrawal of its $18.5 billion offer for Unocal, clearing the way for rival bidder Chevron Corp. -- which, we rush to assure you, is safely 'merican owned -- to purchase America's ninth-largest producer of oil. CNOOC, China's largest offshore oil and natural gas company, state ... |

Daily Grist |
| The Axis of Oil China gets pushy about finding oil and gas supplies outside Mideast Historians cataloguing the unintended consequences of the Iraq war can add another to their list. Until 2003, China had been wooing Saddam Hussein, hoping to lay claim to some of Iraq's undeveloped oil reserves. But the U.S.-led war, perceived by China's leaders as a bid to secure geopolitical hegemony in the Middle East, KO'd th ... |

Daily Grist |
| CNOOC-ered Bush security adviser helped firm land lobbying gig for Chinese oil co. The bid by state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corporation to purchase U.S. oil and gas producer Unocal has raised hackles among some national-security types. So it may seem odd that James C. Langdon Jr., the chair of President Bush's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board -- a group with security clearance greater than even ... |

| Here's a worthwhile David R. Francis editorial about China's growing demand for oil. It's another reminder that environmentalists who really care about the fate of the earth -- the entire earth, not just their favorite camping spot out West -- can do nothing more valuable than trying to make sure that China does not follow the same development path as the U.S. and Europe. This means lobbying the Chinese government not only to adopt aggressive conservation and renewable ... |

Hot Oil Treatment
China's wide-ranging quest for oil may bring about clashes with U.S. |
|
16 Nov 2004 |
Daily Grist |
| Hot Oil Treatment China's wide-ranging quest for oil may bring about clashes with U.S. China is desperate for oil to fuel its booming economy, and it's got plenty of cash to pay for it and few of the humanitarian scruples that still (occasionally) restrain the U.S. Some analysts worry that these circumstances will lead to conflict between the two nations. Most alarmingly, China recently cut a $70 billion deal with Iran that ... |
