很明显,天然气领域的博弈与竞争不止于中美之间,它是多边的国际性博弈与竞争。天然气是清洁的一次能源,在低碳语境下它将成为工业文明的血液——这只是迟早的事。而因天然气而产生的博弈在近十年并不乏见。最引人注目的当属美俄在乌克兰的博弈——其背后天然气是主战场。之所以如此,主因是天然气严重依赖输送管线等基础设施,地缘条件和政治气氛对天然气供需关系的影响远大于石油等其他能源。2004年乌克兰“橙色革命”之后,俄乌之间关系恶化, Obviously, the game and competition in the field of natural gas are not limited to China and the United States. It is a multilateral international game and competition. Natural gas is a clean primary energy, and in the low-carbon context it will become the blood of industrial civilization - it is only a matter of time. The game caused by natural gas is not uncommon in the last ten years. The most noticeable issue is the game between the United States and Russia in Ukraine - the natural gas behind them is the main battlefield.
