Snagged from RB; grind on this little ditty for a minute or two........ China sees consumption of gas quadruple in coming decade 23-06-99 China will quadruple consumption of natural gas in about a decade, according to the State Petroleum and Chemical Industry Bureau. Long-distance pipelines are to be laid from China's gas-rich western areas to the energy-short east and the south, said officials in Beijing. They added that foreign investors were encouraged to participate in pipeline construction. Opportunities for foreign investors may come for building a gas pipeline to stretch thousands of kilometres from Russia to China as the Chinese government is considering the import of Russian gas, according to Chen Geng, deputy director of the petroleum and chemical industry bureau. The French oil giant Total and Gaz de France, which hosted the recent China-France Gas Industry Policy Seminar together with the China National Petroleum Corp, are among the firms that wish to participate in China's gas programs. Natural gas now accounts for only 2 % of energy consumption in China, compared with the 23 % world average. In contrast, dirty coal makes up 75 % of China's energy consumption. The Chinese government is considering policy support in taxation and pricing, Chen said. Moreover, subsidies may be used to compensate end-users, as the country will have to maintain high natural gas prices to ensure developers' revenues.

"....From the jus' so's ya know Department..." Blair greets Chinese president: protesters heard but not seen LONDON (AP) _ With protesters within earshot but out of sight, Prime Minister Tony Blair today welcomed Chinese President Jiang Zemin at his 10 Downing Street office. Jiang, on the third day of a state visit, arrived from Buckingham Palace in a royal limousine _ he is a guest of Queen Elizabeth II _ decorated with the red flag of the People's Republic of China. Jiang earlier met leaders of Britain's opposition parties. Several hundred demonstrators angered by China's poor human rights record and its occupation of Tibet blew whistles, shouted and waved banners in Whitehall, located at the end of Downing Street. Jiang's limo took an alternate route and did not pass the protesters. Blair's aides said he would raise the issue of human rights, without letting it "define our relationship with China." Issues such as British backing for China's application to join the World Trade Organization, investment, the development of Britain's former colony, Hong Kong, and China's international role would also be discussed, aides said.
