Abstract
With the continuous growth of global energy demand,the transformation and upgrading of the energy structure,and the increasing severity of environmental issues,the LNG international trade market has gradually taken shape and expanded.Based on social network analysis,this paper utilizes the UCINET and NetDraw to study the evolution characteristics of international LNG trade by selecting data from such four time points as 2007,2016,2021,and 2022.The research results show that the density of international LNG trade social network has shown an overall increase,the degree of international trade cluster has been continuously improving,the typical LNG importing countries in the Asia-Pacific are geographically close as well as have similarities in trade pattern,China has become the center of international LNG trade in the Asia-Pacific,the countries(and regions)located in the core region of the network are stable but changing,and India,Thailand and other countries are also frequently appearing in the core region with the population growth and economic development of emerging countries in Southeast Asia in recent years.The paper proposes that China should actively establish a global LNG resource pool to ensure national energy security,learn from the typical LNG trading cooperation experience from Northeast Asia,and focus on cooperation opportunities at emerging countries'LNG international trades.关键词
