The energy business poses many challenges to enterprise. Governments around the world recognize that ensuring an adequate supply of energy is of utmost importance to advancing the national economy and protecting citizens' livelihoods. In China , this recognition has led to extremely strict controls over business operators in the energy sector. Not only is the flow of energy in to and out of China heavily regulated, but the flow of energy driven international investment attracts special legal and policy considerations. Accordingly, navigating the energy law landscape in China requires both an in-depth understanding of the relevant laws and regulations, as well as a strong awareness of the political and business forces that shape related government policy.
