Energy Economics and Some Energy Myths for the 21st Century Oct 30, 2009
Like Europe, China needs natural gas, and ceteris paribus should have no difficulty paying for it.

Economists like using the Latin phrase "ceteris paribus": "All other things being equal." If nothing else changes, they say, factor A will produce result B.
