Oil is a key element in producing social wealth, and also a crucial commodity with impact on global political system, economic order and military activities. For the sake of China’s oil security, we should place it into national strategic level by including oil security guarantee to long-term national strategic planning, and map out an oil security program with global, marketizing and systematic thinking.
