[2]\n\nWHAT THIS MEANS FOR BOTSWANA\nBotswana's pursuit of stronger ties with China could leverage its net energy import dependency of 0% to negotiate favorable energy or infrastructure agreements. [2][E2]\n\nKEY RISKS\nWith a net energy import dependency of 0%, Botswana faces the risk of over-reliance on a single energy source or infrastructure, which could be disrupted. [E2]\n\nWATCH ITEMS\nThe outcome of Botswana's efforts to strengthen ties with China remains to be seen. [2]",
