摘要

This paper analyzes the origin of the Belt and Road Initiative, the role of China's market-oriented development of natural gas in promoting the Belt and Road Initiative, and the possibilities of natural gas cooperation between China and countries along the Belt and Road. In this paper, the implementation of the natural gas strategy under the Belt and Road Initiative and how it will promote the development of the natural gas industry chain are reviewed. The risks of implementing the Belt and Road Initiative are analyzed, especially in terms of the pricing mechanism, geopolitical risks, and seasonal risks.
