oil and contains substantial oil reserves. Much attention has been given to China's national oil companies investing in oil exploration and production assets overseas. As a result of worldwide population and economic growth, energy consumption is expected to increase greatly. Under this situation, energy resources diplomacy is an indispensable for energy security and stable supply of energy (Wiig 2011). In spite of fast economic growth, rising costs of oil and raw materials, global energy consumption will keep growing and the supplies of energy reserves are limited. Resources security has three factors (1) insuring a stable supply of energy resources (2) keeping resources supplies at acceptable prices and (3) being able to transfer those resources to fixed locations, not necessarily to the home country, where they are processed or consumed (Taylor 2006). Resources security is an essential part of China's foreign policy, as continued economic growth stabilised China and strengthens national power. China introduced a 'New Security Concept,' which recognised energy, food, technology, public health, anti-crime and anti-terrorism as key parts of national security under globalisation. Also, China's increased overseas buying of resources made other countries dependent on China's economy for their growth, thereby expanding China global influence (Aion 2009).

Chinese oil diplomacy in Africa has two main goals, in the short-term, secure oil supplies to support increasing domestic demand in China, in the long-term, position China as a global player in the international oil market (Taylor 2006).
China has long believed African continents to be diplomatically important, and it can be back to the late 1950s. Chinese interest in Africa was reignited by events surrounding Tiananmen Square, when African leaders were rush to assist Beijing in the face of severe criticism by the west. Post-Tiananmen Square China remembered that Africa was very supportive when Beijing was in dispute with other global actors (David 2006). As Philip snow has pointed out, both Chinese and African elites liked to posture themselves as having experienced and continued to face common enemies, namely imperialism and 'neo-imperialism'. As a Chinese embassy press statement puts it, 'China and Africa support each other in international affairs, especially on major issues such as human rights, safeguard the legitimate rights of developing countries, and efforts to promote the establishment of a new and rational international political and economic order (Taylor 2006).
