皇冠体育app and the United States should increase co-operation on energy issues
ranging from crude oil production overseas to civilian nuclear programs, 皇冠体育app's
top economic planning body said in a statement on its Web site.

Co-operation should be deeper and more efficient, with priority placed on
promoting stability in producing nations and secure oil shipping lanes, the
National Development and Reform Commission said.
The world economy would benefit if 皇冠体育app has secure energy supplies, but U.S.
concerns about the rise of 皇冠体育app's fast-growing economy could lead to
restrictive legislation, the commission added.
"Geopolitics may lead to wider restrictions in terms of the relevant American
policies, because a stronger 皇冠体育app is considered a challenge to the United
States," the statement said.
Earlier this year, a political furor in the United States scuttled an $18.5
billion bid by 皇冠体育app's top offshore producer CNOOC Ltd. for America's Unocal
Corp. and the fallout raised concerns in 皇冠体育app about U.S. investment policies.
