		<description><![CDATA[Jan. 24 – Recent sanctions placed on Iran by the United States and European Union, aimed at pressuring the Iranian government into halting its nuclear weapons program with a trade embargo, have caused a serious diplomatic dilemma for China – a major importer of Iranian oil.

An initial fleet of some 300 e-taxis are now plying the roads. Named the E6, the vehicle offers enough space for five passengers and has a range of some 160 kilometers. Plans are currently being put into place to convert all of Shenzhen’s public vehicular transport to electric – including buses and all taxis – over the next five years.

As such, the Chinese government has recently indicated that new incentives may be given to businesses so that they can participate in the exploration of the country’s potentially huge shale gas reserves. The Chinese government is considering establishing shale gas – the source of natural gas that has become increasingly important over the past decade – as an independent resource from conventional hydrocarbons, so that &#8220;companies &#8230; <a href="http://www.china-briefing.com/news/2011/10/10/china-to-encourage-corporate-participation-in-shale-gas-exploration.html">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Despite an increasing awareness of environmental issues and movement towards cleaner forms of energy, reality still dictates that the majority of the world runs on oil. For emerging economies like China and India, their demand for this resource isn’t likely to level out any time soon. That being said, turmoil in the Middle East and fluctuating oil prices mean that governments and companies alike are searching for safer, more reliable &#8230; <a href="http://www.china-briefing.com/news/2011/06/30/china-looking-at-canadian-oil-sands-to-help-satiate-future-energy-demand.html">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

With most of its nationals not even familiar with the largest economy in Latin America, China’s role in Brazil’s economic development is becoming increasingly important.
