Abstract:

At present，natural gas cooperation between China and African countries has become an important part of Sino-
African cooperation. Through extensive analysis of the data and literatures about Sino-African natural gas trade and investment，
the situation of China’s energy import and the trend of the international oil and gas market，this article reveals that in order
to largely broaden and deepen the practice of One Belt and One Road Strategy，China should guarantee natural gas supply in
Africa，promote Sino-Africa natural gas trade and natural gas investment in Africa and encourage communication of experiences
and technologies of natural gas development between China and Africa. Therefore，Chinese government should seize the
opportunities brought by the transformation of world energy landscape，the internationalization of Chinese energy companies，
the increasingly close Sino-African energy cooperation and the support of One Belt and One Road Strategy to further strengthen
Sino-African natural gas cooperation. However，the unfavorable investment environment，the severe security situation in Africa
and the intense competition in Africa are the challenges China must face.
