Today, China is the second largest consumer of oil, just after the United States. But with one of the highest rates of growth on the planet, its energy needs are increasing seven times faster, while its reserves are depleting. China is unable to produce the oil it needs today. It has to import half of it. In the next three years this number will increase to two-thirds, if not its whole economy will collapse.
Lacking its own source of oil, China is dependent on the rest of the world. Hence it's imperative to find new countries to provide it and secure these supplies in an increasingly unstable world.
In this crusade for black gold, China is already in direct conflict with the current greatest consumer of the world's oil: the United States.
BATTLE FOR OIL investigates the new world geopolitics that is emerging around the needs of both the world's leading superpower and the world's fastest growing economy to secure future supplies of oil.
Chinese oil companies are signing deals in countries like Venezuela, Iran, Sudan, Chad and Angola. In exchange, China has given its support to these countries, either building infrastructure or using its influence to support them at the United Nations. Now, U.S. companies are finding that doing business in some oil producing markets is rapidly changing.

We should remember that when the government of any nation repeatedly fails to, or is unable to (without the express cooperation of other nations), address the grievances or concerns of its people, that nation's citizenry or government has the unusual option of seeking redress from respected international authorities/agencies. This is where globalism factors in, and is the very avenue which secret societies have used to establish precedence, solidarity, and legitimacy to international alliances due to issues whether real or by artifice/propaganda, or a combination thereof. Understanding this will enable the historically blinded average person to better understand such things as the overlooked purpose of war, and sinisterly engineered societal destabilizing factors. The endgame is to force all such issues to the final court and governing body of appeals recognized by the majority upon earth, regardless of national boundaries.

Clearly propaganda. China has 1.4 billion people. Compare its oil consumption to USA + all of North and South America. Then China has to develop another 50 years to reach that level of the consumption of oil by 1.4 billion people in South and North America.
