Unprecedented: The China FactorBy: Mark A. Stansberry, Award-Winning Author

Energy Advocate and Chairman of The GTD Group

Energy Talk

Besides the US being chal-lenged by the COVID-19 virus, the China factor in its assertive behavior is confronting the US and the entire globe. The more powerful China becomes, the more assertive, such as national security regulations adopted by the National People’s Congress on Hong Kong, military activ-ity in the South China Sea, the rhetoric used against Taiwan, and the many other areas of confron-tational measures. Tensions are escalating. China has continued to reach out its influence with Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, North Korea and other countries.

My first visit to PR China was in 1994, when I led a People to People International business delegation. China’s infrastruc-ture was that of a Third World country in nearly every area of the economy. In the 90s, from my perspective, I was dealing with a China that appeared to be first and foremost excited about

doing business with the US in a free market society. Since the late 90s, I saw China gradually become interested in its op-portunity of being a powerful force.

Two years earlier, in 1992, I first visited Russia as a member of People to People Internation-al’s energy delegation. There was the introduction of the free market economy and other reforms taking place in Russia. The US, along with the world, was encouraged about the op-portunities. I saw firsthand the economic and environmental challenges that were facing Russia. Fast forward to 2014, the front cover page of the Wall Street Journal in May of that year is summed up with a picture of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin toasting with the caption reading “Leaders of China and Russia Drink to Momentous Gas Deal.” Russia has an abundance of oil and natural gas reserves. China needs those reserves.

My column in the fall of 2014, entitled “It’s Time to Act!”, addressed the Wall Street Jour-nal article. “Russia was flexing its muscles. It appeared that it was working towards world

dominance in energy. However, it should not be ignored as to where the final deal between Russia and China was signed. It was signed in Shanghai, China. Through this deal, China was sending a mes-sage to the West that it is the real power in its view.” As I stated then, “It is extremely important that the US be in a strong posi-tion of securing energy reserves within its own boundaries. The US must build stronger relation-ships with its neighbors and its allies as well. Russia and China definitely have plans in action. The US needs energy security. America Needs America’s En-ergy! It’s time to act!”

We must focus our atten-tion on research, innovation and technology, including the areas of 5G, space, cyber security, digital transformation, and broadband, to mention a few.

US and China have been embattled in a trade war. Next, both countries could be involved in a Cold War or beyond. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Initiative in 1930 proved to be detrimental under the Hoover Administration and contributed to failings during the Depression. It is yet to be proven whether the current tariffs will lead to good results.

We must have a strong energy industry! America Needs America’s energy!!
