Abstract: Countries along the "Belt and Road" have highly consistent symbiotic energy relations, and the construction of the energy community with a shared future along the "Belt and Road" is an application of symbiotic theory in the construction of "Belt and Road". In light of the symbiosis theory, the greatest external resistance in the construction of the regional energy community is the United States; the fierce geopolitical game among the nations along the "Belt and Road" is the primary internal resistance,and the relatively backward infrastructure and legal system are factors restricting the development the energy community with a shared future along the "Belt and Road". Faced with the challenges,we should adjust the imbalanced mutual benefits in Sino-US relations and create a symbiotic environment for win-win cooperation, improve the ability to deal with the risks of energy geopolitical games and create a symbiotic model of multiple mutual assistance. To improve infrastructure and legal system and establish a coordinated and interconnected symbiotic unit necessary efforts for China to guarantee the security of energy cooperation and meet the challenges of energy cooperation.

Key words: symbiosis theory, the "Belt and Road" initiative, energy security, energy community with a shared future, mutual-benefiting and symbiosis
