Francis,
Covering China’s energy sector is a monumental task, and I’m glad someone’s taking a stab at it. I’m based in DC and my own work involves China’s energy sector coverage, among various other China-related issues. It’s such a fluid and often opaque sector that it takes sustained research to “figure it out,” if you will. You should read Erica Downs’ piece on China’s energy security policy if you haven’t already. Very elucidating.
Keep up the good work. Perhaps we can trade some notes in the future.

In an effort to mutually support the China Blogosphere, I wanted to notify everyone of my new Chinese news aggregator, http://www.thechinareader.com. Stop by and let me know what you think. I have also made an effort to include all China-related bloggers I like/am aware of on my blogroll as well.
Best,
Lyle
