The global energy trade has two distinct characteristics. First is in the financialization of energy trade，and the second is the energy pricing mechanism with petroleum dollar. The global energy system is interacting with the global financial system. The integration of energy trade and the financial system has enabled the energy industry and financial industry to have more room for development and innovation，but it also makes the global financial governance structure and the global energy structure more vulnerable to external shocks.

At present，China’s energy trade is more prominent in current international trade in terms of its overall quantity or proportion，but because of the backwardness of the relevant financial system，China’s discourse power in the global energy trade is low. And China is in a better time to participate in the construction of a global energy trade-related financial system. On the one hand，as China’s international strength continues to increase，it needs to issue its own voice in the global governance structure；on the other hand，China should improve its own relevant capacity building，and then actively participate in the formulation of international rules and improve the level of international cooperation，such as promoting energy cooperation through “the Belt and Road Initiative” and “Internationalization of the RMB.”
