- Title
The EU–China energy cooperation: toward a reciprocal partnership?
- Authors
Zhang, Chao
- Abstract
The EU–China energy relationship had long been characterized by the "donor–recipient" paradigm, whereby the EU provided official development assistance to China. The EU's assistance of China's energy sector had been driven by normative, political, and commercial considerations. Today, the normative and political momentum in their energy relationship has been undermined, while energy investment and trade remain a difficult issue. Although the EU has been endeavoring to shape an overall "reciprocal" relationship with China, and stressing energy market access and reciprocity, China is not rushing into anything. The EU and China need to make greater efforts to find impetus for their energy cooperation, for which the involvement of business and industry actors is key. Until this is done, their energy partnership would likely remain a commitment to be fulfilled.
