REUTERS/Thomas Peter/Files Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Aug 16 (Reuters) - China's top energy official has called for more secrecy in the country’s energy sector to protect national security in an increasingly hostile international environment. U.S. officials are keen to play down analogies between the intensifying strategic rivalry between China and the United States and the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. The result is likely to be a more suspicious and cautious approach to cooperation on energy issues including emissions reductions. He warned about the increasing information security risks posed by smart phones, social media and hacking. Zhang called for “sober awareness” of these challenges and correct handling of the relationship between energy supply and energy security.
