The strength of a country's economy should not be depended entirely on how much of the country's productivity, but on how much the country can control the resources. Under international political economy competitionin, a country's strength should not only depends on the sum of the country's economy, institutio, andl infrastructure, but also depends on the possession of these resources to maintain its strength development. In other words, the resources decide strategy. One, who controls resources, will be able to control the world.
In today's international politics, the oil is the driving force of the global struggle. Facing the oil shortage in the future, Each countries has to develop new sources of oil, actively developing strategic cooperation with oil producers and substitute energy. Since the breakout of oil crisis in 1973, trade development and market demand is on the increase, which has become an important international strategic materials, i.e. "black gold."
In 1978, since China began to reform and open to the world, its economy has been rapidly taking off. In 1993, China became a net importer of petroleum products, highlighting its demand on the oil and gas and other energy. Over a long period of exploration and practice, China has formed a set of energy policy, which found itself that can not just rely on the oil from the Middle East. Therefore, by diplomacy and foreign investment and merger policies of state-owned companies, China changes its traditional focus on oil and energy policy to look around the oil source all over the world. Moreover, China actively participates in energy exploration and production abroad, expecting to reduce the dependence on a single oil-producing region.
To ensure the possession of oil and energy, th China regrads the five Central Asian countries, independentthe from the Soviet Union, as a substitute for the second Middle East oil region while the Cold War was over. Then, in 1996, China set up the "Shanghai Five" from border security, and then set up the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization (Shanghai Cooperation Organization - SCO)", and expanded to include the energy into the scope of cooperation.
The purpose of this study mainily attempts to analyze from the viewpoints of geopolitcs and geo-political theory, and mainly explore the background, factors, basis, motivation, limitations and its challenges that China makes use of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to conduct bilateral energy cooperation relations with the Central Asian countries from the points of view on the energy factors of geopolitics and the national interest.
