This study, for the 1st time, reviews the cause of energy sources diversification on energy independence risk. To achieve this objective, the dataset across 64 countries spanning the time in the middle of 2000 and 2018 is used. For empirical analysis, method of moments quantile regression (MMQR) to cope with heteroscedasticity, partially linear functional-coefficient (PLFC) model to run nonlinear analysis, also difference-in-differences (DID) method to deal with endogeneity of Chinese energy inv
