China's new ministry highlights need for administrative reforms

Avatar

China is making a monumental change in how it governs its energy sector: by giving itself an energy ministry. Beijing announced earlier this month that the country's vast oil, gas, coal and power sectors will be overseen by an energy ministry, which would replace an existing regulator. The timeline and other details of the planned ministry are not yet available, but given that this is China, what the government decides, the government does.
