China has experienced pressing energy shortages in recent years, and Beijing has intensified its efforts to secure China's energy supply through both increased domestic production and external expansion. In this paper, I first analyze China's global quest for energy by looking at the correlation between China's economic growth and its energy security concerns. I then examine the implications of China's "go-out" strategy through two sets of case studies. I argue that China's global search for energy is primarily driven by its rapid economic growth, out of insecurity rather than a master plan to dominate the world, and that China's energy security issues have multiple implications beyond simple economic concerns. Finally, I recommend a forward-looking engagement policy to be adapted by Ca...

Now, Brodie says, "Those days are gone. Long gone." Just a few years ago, customers could get good money for their used equipment. Today, however, prices for new systems are so low that there is absolutely no profit in all, but the highest quality second-hand systems. As for scrap value, in the drive to build less expensive systems, manufacturers have successfully 'thinwalled' their products, substituting lower-quality plastics and metals wherever possible. Inevitably, one side effect has been to take most of the scrap value out of used equipment.
Of course, people and institutions can still legally throw their waste electronics out in the garbage (although many governments are considering banning the practice) or hand them on to scrap dealers, but Brodie points out the harm that that d...
