改革开放以来,随着我国农村人口城市化步伐的加快、国民经济快速发展和城乡居民生活水平的提高,石油消费量开始呈现出高速增长的趋势。在这一趋势中,我国的石油需求对外依存度迅速上升。石油问题开始成为国家安全、经济稳定发展的战略问题。近年来,我国在中东、俄罗斯、里海周边、非洲和东南亚开展的一系列外交工作中,隐含的石油外交说明了这一问题的重要性。 Since the reform and opening up, with the acceleration of the urbanization of rural population in our country, the rapid development of the national economy and the improvement of living standards of urban and rural residents, oil consumption has begun to show a trend of rapid growth. In this trend, China’s dependence on foreign demand for oil has risen rapidly. The petroleum issue has become a strategic issue of national security and stable economic development. In recent years, the implicit oil diplomacy of our country in a series of diplomatic missions carried out in the Middle East, Russia, the Caspian Sea, Africa and Southeast Asia illustrates the importance of this issue.
