2006年2月23日,世界石油巨子——BP集团首席执行官约翰·布朗勋爵在其母校英国剑桥大学发表演讲。他客观地分析了世界油价上涨的因素后认为,不应让中国对过去两年来世界油价的上涨负全部的责任。在短期内世界市场能够满足中国的需求,对中国和其他国家而言,实现能源安全供应最有效的途径是成为世界市场的一部分。他指出,中国在取得巨大经济发展成果的同时,与世界其他国家同样面临着能源供应、能源消费与环境的不可回避的挑战。中国的经济发展奇迹再次证明,开放贸易不是一场“零和”游戏,所有的参与者都将受益,应当运用最有效的贸易市场机制,确保能源供应与不断增长的需求相匹配。布朗勋爵的演讲视角独特而开阔,分析生动而入理。他的分析和展望,对于我们解决能源领域的矛盾和问题有很好的启发和提示作用。为此,本刊编译并摘录了演讲的相关内容,以飨读者。 February 23, 2006, World Oil Giant - BP Group CEO Lord John Brown delivered a speech at his alma mater, University of Cambridge, UK. After analyzing objectively the reasons for the world oil price rise, he believes that China should not be entirely responsible for rising oil prices in the world in the past two years. In the short term, the world market can meet the needs of China. For China and other countries, the most effective way to achieve energy security is to become part of the world market. He pointed out that while attaining great economic development results, China faces the same unavoidable challenge of energy supply, energy consumption and the environment as the rest of the world. China’s miracle of economic development once again proves that open trade is not a “zero-sum” game. All participants will benefit. The most effective trade market mechanism should be used to ensure that the energy supply matches the growing demand. Lord Brown’s speech perspective unique and open, vivid and analysis. His analysis and prospect have very good enlightenment and prompt role for us in resolving the contradictions and problems in the field of energy. To this end, the compilation and excerpt of the speech related content, in order to readers.
