This paper explores the opportunities and challenges for the United States to develop a coherent approach to energy and environmental relations with China. This exploration begins with an overview of China’s impact on global energy markets and environmental quality. In addition to examining the scope of such cooperation, the paper discusses commercial opportunities and challenges for US environmental technology and energy efficiency companies in China. It has bee argued in the conclusion that greater bilateral cooperation and information sharing on common environmental and energy problems not only improves bilateral governmental relations, but also could facilitate environmental and energy collaboration among NGOs, research centers, and news organizations in the United States and China.
