China becomes the largest energy consumer in the world

China's development as an industrialised country means that this soaring energy demand will continue for some time to come.* Its economic growth has led to a massive increase in the production of cars, trucks and other vehicles, not to mention buildings and infrastructure (which includes almost one new power plant every week).

The 21st century began with the United States as the sole superpower in the absence of the Soviet Union, with China becoming a potential superpower.

A new set of crises would emerge in the 2020s. As oil demand began to exceed supply, full-scale conflict erupted in the Middle East.
