10月20日,欧佩克刚刚宣布减产计划,试图阻止国际市场石油价格下跌的趋势。几天后,美、日、印、韩四国能源部长汇集北京,与中国国家发改委官员召开“能源消费国大会”,寻求稳定国际油价的各种途径,并与欧佩克争夺国际石油市场的话语权。其实,这样的大会并不是第一次,引人注目的 On October 20, OPEC had just announced plans to cut production in an attempt to stop the downward trend in oil prices in the international market. A few days later, the energy ministers of the United States, Japan, India, and Korea gathered in Beijing and held meetings with the officials of the National Development and Reform Commission of the People’s Republic of China on the “Energy Consumption Country Conference” to seek various ways to stabilize international oil prices and compete with OPEC for the right to speak in the international oil market. Actually, such a conference is not the first time it attracts attention.
