China is now the world's largest energy consumer, supplanting the role of the US, which had led the world in energy consumption for over half a century. Will China's "energy rise" potentially reshape the global energy landscape? What does this mean for the US-China bilateral relationship in the energy sector?
AmCham China and the Carnegie–Tsinghua Center for Global Policy co-host this event with Prof. Edward Cunningham, assistant professor at Boston University's Department of Earth and Environment and the director of the Kennedy School's Asia Energy and Sustainability Initiative at Harvard. Cunningham will discuss recent developments in global energy markets. He will highlight the contrast between America's declining energy consumption and exposure to imports with the rapid rise of Chinese trade in global energy markets.

The talk will highlight current trends in investment, technology acquisition, and politics between the world's two largest energy players, and close with thoughts on what major developments to expect in this critical sector in 2013. Prof. Cunningham will argue that while economic momentum continues to build through the growth of transformative energy partnerships between the US and China, the political and financial landscape is shifting significantly, threatening to reverse such historic progress.
