Suisheng Zhao is Professor and Director of the Center for China-US Cooperation at Josef Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver. A founding editor of the Journal of Contemporary China, he is the author and editor of more than a dozen books.

'The merits of China's search for energy security lie not only in the unique and fresh perspective it takes in investigating China's domestic and international policy through the lens of energy, but also in the carefully selected and well-structured chapters bt several authorities in the field. This book is a must-read for any scholar, student, policy-maker or member of the general public who seeks to understand China's present and future energy policy and its domestic and global implications.'Kai Sun, Ocean University of China
