Reviewer 2 Report
I recommend the paper to be accepted if the authors can address the following issues during the revision:
1- The study is very effective, especially in the international relations on China's energy security and supply demand dynamics. Nevertheless, the reviewer suggests that the authors add a new section containing the essential recommendations that are drawn from this study.
2- The most important quantitative results of the paper should be added to the abstract.
3- The authors should avoid lumping references. Instead, summarize the main contribution of each referenced paper in a separate sentence.
4- The authors should cite more papers published in this decent journal. Otherwise, how to show the topic within the scope of this journal?
5- More remarks should be given to clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results, in particular, compared with existing work in literature.
6- The authors should present the structure of the Hodrick-Prescott filter in more detail. An experimental study of the Filters discussed include the Baxter-King filter (bkfilter), the Christiano-Fitzgerald filter (cffilter), and the Hamilton filter (hfilter) should be given to clearly demonstrate the effectiveness, as well as a comparison of its performance with that of other filters.
7- Results and Discussion section needs to be strengthened and findings need to be discussed in light of previous studies, literature, theory, and real evidence.
