MANAGEMENT OF XINJIANG’S OIL ENERGY AND NUCLEAR ENERGY SOURCES IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA (PRC) IN POST-COLD WAR
OBSERVING THE SUPPORTING AND INHIBITING FACTORS AND THEIR RELEVANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Abstract
China's dependence on energy so far has been on coal. However, like other non-renewable fossil energy, the supply of coal itself is getting depleted. In addition, the PRC's dependence on coal so far has brought losses to the PRC itself, namely the high levels of carbon dioxide emissions contained in the PRC's air. This situation makes the PRC government feel the need to develop other energy sources. Considering the PRC is a country that is blessed with various energy reserves which are quite abundant, it is not too difficult for the PRC government to explore and develop these energy reserves. However, it turns out that it is not so easy to raise this issue because in some ways this energy issue has touched other sensitive aspects. For this reason, the PRC government implements an energy policy consisting of a short-term plan, a medium-term plan, and a long-term plan. The agency responsible for this is the State Planning Commission (SPC). Bringing together the supporting factors and inhibiting factors, the visible trend is that the PRC government will continue to strive to maintain its energy policy, but by making improvements that are felt to be very necessary in order to be effective. This is inseparable from the existence of the PRC's economy as well as its environment which means the existence of the country itself in the future.
