SUBJECT: ENERGY SECRETARY BODMAN'S MEETING WITH NDRC
CHAIRMAN MA KAI AND MOST MINISTER XU GUANHUA; U.S. - CHINA
ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY PROTOCOL SIGNED
¶1. (SBU) Summary. China views the sustainability of its
economic growth to rest on its domestic economy, with trade
only recently becoming a more significant factor. Future
cooperation on renewable energy, energy efficiency, and
nuclear power will be the focus of post-Strategic Economic
Dialogue (SED) I activities, with possible integration of
SED action items with activities under the DOE ' National
Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) Energy Policy
Dialogue (EPD). NDRC Chairman MA Kai wants both nations to
focus on specific energy efficiency and alternative energy
technologies. He views technology transfer in those areas
as having great potential toward reducing the trade
imbalance between the two countries, thus not posing a
threat to U.S. national security. MA proposes to organize
a meeting in 2007 to exchange views on specific mature
energy technology transfers in the areas of environmental
protection and energy savings, with a focus on producing
tangible results.
Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) Minister Xu
Guanhua sees a link between the action agenda developed
during the Joint Commission Meeting (JCM) and the post-SED
agenda, noting the common interests of the United States
and China on clean energy and environmental technology. Xu
would like to see expanded cooperation in those areas with
a forum for technical discussions in a smaller setting.
China currently has 9 million cars on the road. By 2030,
China will have 100 million vehicles, thus the pressure on
the environment and the demand for fuel will be great Xu
noted. MOST is interested in knowing more about United
States hydrogen policy.
Secretary Bodman and MOST Minister Xu executed the newly
SIPDIS
negotiated 'Protocol between the Department of Energy of
the United States of America and the Ministry of Science
and Technology of the People's Republic of China for
Cooperation in the Fields of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy Technology and Development and
Utilization.' End Summary.
DOE, NDRC, and MOST Working Lunch
------------------
¶2. (SBU) The lunch meeting among Secretary of Energy
Bodman, NDRC Chairman Ma Kai, and Minister Xu Guanhua,
Ministry of Science and Technology convened at the Great
Hall of the People on Friday, December 15, 2006 immediately
after the last formal session of the SED. NDRC Chairman Ma
began the lunch meeting by soliciting Secretary Bodman's
views of the Dialogue. The Secretary termed the SED
effective and indicative of an increased level of
communication and friendship between the two countries.
Differences in U.S.-China SED Presentations
-------------------
¶3. (SBU) One noticeable difference was the conclusions
reached from the statistics each country used during the
SED presentations, Secretary Bodman stated. The Secretary
remarked that Chairman MA emphasized the importance of
China's domestic economy to sustain economic growth, while
giving less importance to China's export economy. From the
United States point of view, the Secretary observed, the
focus of China's economy is on manufacturing for exports.
However, he continued, the analytical focus in China's
December 14 SED presentation seemed to reflect the reverse.
The Secretary was therefore curious about the basis for the
statistical analyses Chairman MA was using, as this was one
of the few differences he noted during the SED. The
Secretary based his remarks on statistics from the Energy
SIPDIS
Information Agency, and he wondered about the origin of the
Chairman's analysis.
NDRC Chairman's Perspective
---------------------------
BEIJING 00000346 002 OF 008
¶4. (SBU) Chairman Ma stated that China's 1.3 billion
population was too big a number for China to focus only on
the world economy as a basis for sustainable economic
growth. During most of the years in which the exports
resulted in a trade surplus, the resulting surplus ranged
between 1 ' 2% of China's total economy, he explained. It
is only in the last few years that the export surplus has
become a significant factor, he concluded. He stated that
he used statistics from the energy statistical data
published by British Petroleum and the International Energy
Agency, both well respected sources of energy statistics.
While the use of statistical data to inform analysis is an
issue worth exploring for further mutual understanding, the
Secretary stressed that the past is less important, and it
SIPDIS
is more fruitful to focus on what we can do in the future.
SED Follow-Up: Energy, Environment and Sustainable
Development
----------------------
¶5. (SBU) As a follow-up to the additional SED
presentations on December 15, Chairman MA asked the
Secretary's views of the proposals made. Secretary Bodman
SIPDIS
responded that the ideas for future cooperation were good,
and that the first step was to have the technical people
responsible for working on renewable energy, energy
efficiency, and nuclear power meet and share views on the
status of what each country is doing. Noting that in some
areas China is more advanced that the United States, the
technical exchange would permit each country to benefit
from the other. DOE Assistant Secretary for Policy and
International Affairs Karen Harbert opined that the Energy
Policy Dialogue (EPD) is a good place for the initiatives
to reside. Harbert also stated that many of these areas
were identified as priorities during the second EPD, which
China recently hosted, i.e., energy efficiency, clean coal
technologies, finding ways to assist China with energy
conservation strategies and tools. Secretary Bodman took
the occasion to comment on his regard for the great
technological expertise that resides in China, and his
desire not to have the United States preach to China, but
to listen and understand where the challenges for both
countries are after the experts have had an opportunity to
exchange views.
Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency Cooperation - Bringing
Balance to Bilateral Trade without Threatening U.S.
National Security
----------------------
¶6. (SBU) Chairman MA agreed with Secretary Bodman's
approach, but stated his desire to focus on specific
projects that the two countries can jointly develop. He
stated that, unlike China's one-time purchases of
particular United States goods such as airplanes, United
States clean, energy efficient, and alternative energy
technologies have great potential toward reducing the trade
imbalance between the two countries. Cooperation in these
areas, does not pose a threat to the national security of
the United States. Therefore, MA proposed to organize a
meeting in 2007 to exchange views on specific mature energy
technology transfers in the areas of environmental
protection and energy savings. The meeting would involve
other agencies and sectors working in these reas, such as
MOST, with whom DOE already has close cooperation and
Chinese industry. NDRC is working on ten major energy
conservation initiatives, MA proposes that the United
States and China select two or three projects every year as
the subject of their cooperation, so that the cooperation
does not stop when the policy dialogue ends, but will
continue to achieve substantive results. NDRC Vice
Chairman ZHANG Xiaoqiang suggested that the energy
conservation project involve the 1000 largest, energy-
consuming enterprises in China and similar United States
companies.

MOST Minister XU links SED next steps to JCM next steps
-----------------------
¶7. (SBU) MOST Minister XU Guanhua began his session of
the meeting by recalling the October, 2006 visit of Dr.
John H. Marlburger III, Science Advisor to the President of
the United States and Director of the Office of Science and
Technology Policy, during the China-United States Joint
Commission Meeting on Scientific and Technical Cooperation
(JCM). The JCM resulted in a resolution to expand
cooperation in the areas of clean energy and environmental
technology, XU stated. Affirming the common interest
between the two countries in these areas, Minister XU noted
the great opportunities and challenges that exist for both
sides. He too would like to see the cooperation expanded;
he thinks existing mechanisms for the cooperation are
available; and he would like to see a forum for technical
discussions in a smaller setting.
¶8. (SBU) Secretary Bodman once again noted the advantages
of further technical discussions and the importance of
engaging the people who are actually doing the work. He
stated that A/S Harbert would be in charge of organizing

Energy Solution for Transportation Needs Tops MOST's
Technology Agenda
--------------------
¶9. (SBU) MOST is engaged in many international automobile
technology cooperation projects with a view to future
commercialization. Minister Xu stated that China currently
has 9 million cars on the road. By 2030, there will be 100
million vehicles, thus the pressure on the environment and
the demand for fuel will be great. Secretary Bodman agreed
that the energy demand for the transportation sector was a
major concern for the United States. XU mentioned hydrogen
as a possible alternative fuel, and he would like to know
more about the United States policy for hydrogen and how to
encourage people to use it. Bodman stated that the United
States has not figured out what the best solution is, but
it that it appeared as if biodiesel fuels are showing
promise.
