俄罗斯远东地区地处其东部边陲，面积广大，人口稀少，资源丰富，是世界上仅有的几个没有充分开发利用的地区之一。俄罗斯独立以来，面积广大的远东地区逐渐成为俄国国家战略的新重点。远东地区丰富的能源资源为俄罗斯提供了天然的战略资源，为振兴俄罗斯经济，加强与东北亚甚至世界经济的联系，俄罗斯加快了开发利用远东丰富能源资源的步伐。中日同为与俄罗斯相邻的两个能源消费大国和进口大国，开发和利用远东地区的能源对两国不啻为一个福音。由于中日俄三国之间的复杂关系及各国内部的各种原因，导致了中日之间在远东能源开发与利用中的竞争，但是中日双方和俄罗斯也都在努力尝试进行相应的合作。文章沿此思路分五个部分进行论述。前言介绍了远东能源开发的背景，概说了当前国内外的相关研究现状，简要说明了中日两国围绕远东能源开发而展开的竞争，认为双方在远东能源开发中进行合作具有现实的可能性，而研究这一课题对中国的能源安全有着重大意义。第一章“俄罗斯远东能源资源概述”，从三方面对远东地区及能源资源概况进行了阐述：俄罗斯远东地区的由来；远东地区储量丰富的能源资源；远东地区能源资源开发现状。第二章“中日对俄罗斯远东能源开发的竞争”，该部分内容论述了中日竞争的原因，并对二者在远东地区的相关力量渗透程度进行了比较，包括四个方面的内容：中日两国为追求国家能源安全而竞争；日本复杂的竞争目的；俄罗斯助推中日之间的竞争；中日竞争远东能源的态势比较。第三章“中日在俄罗斯远东地区能源开发中合作”，主要论述了中日在远东能源开发中进行合作的可能性与可行性，包括三个方面的内容：合作符合中日两国的共同利益；中日俄三国能源合作的努力有利于推动远东能源开发的合作；中日能源合作的历史有利于推动现实的合作。第四章“中国应对未来竞争局面的对策”，中国要在未来中日之间的竞争与合作关系占有主动地位，最有效的对策就是通过多种途径解决国内的能源安全压力，本章从两个方面进行了阐述：加强与俄罗斯的经济合作；立足国内解决能源安全问题。

Russia’s Far East, one of the few less developed areas in the world, is located in the east, with broad territory, rich resources but small population. Since Russia’s independence, the Far East Area has gradually become the new focus of the national strategy, for which the variety of energies there has given strong support. In order to enhance the relationships with the Northeast Asia and the world, Russia has been speeding up the course of developing and utilizing the rich resources in the Far East.Both China and Japan are Russia's neighboring countries. They consume and import a lot of energies every year. So the development and utilization of resources in the Far East has become good news for them, therefore, the relations among China, Japan and Russia have become more complicated because of their perspective history and reality. On the one hand, China and Japan will try to compete in developing and utilizing energies in the Far East. On the other hand, the three countries are inclined to cooperate with one another, considering that excessive competition between China and Japan will do harm to all of them.The contents of the thesis are as follows:In the preface, the article introduces the background of developing energies in the Far East, the current research situation of the issue at home and abroad. This part brief elaborates the necessity of competition between China and Japan, realistic possibility of cooperation between them, and the great significance to China’s energy safety of studying this issue.The argument consists of five chapters. Chapter one shows people the condition of the Far East and energy resources there from three aspects: the origin of Russia’s Far East Area, rich energy resources there and current developing condition there.Chapter two interprets the competition between Sino-Japan in the Russian Far East energy development. This part discusses the reason why China and Japan compete with each other and compares the permeating extents of relevant elements of the two countries in the area. It involves four parts: the two countries competing for national energy safety, the complicated reason for Japan to compete with China, Russia’s promoting the competition between them and situation comparison between the two countries.Chapter three elaborates the possibility and feasibility of the cooperation between China and Japan. It involves three parts: the cooperation is based on their common interest; the efforts of the three countries will promote their cooperation; the energy cooperation history between China and Japan will do well to their cooperation in the Far East Area.Chapter four points out that China should take active measures to alleviate energy pressure and crisis in order to get a superior situation during their competition and cooperation in the Far East in the future, two effective ways of which are enhancement of the economic cooperation with Russia and solution to the energy security at home.
