🇷🇺🤝🇨🇳 Power of Siberia 2: Russia and China tighten energy ties despite US pressure

🗣Russian natural gas is vital for China, and expanded supplies through the Power of Siberia 2.0 pipeline bring major gains for Beijing, John Gong, professor of economics at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, tells Sputnik.

"This provides a cost-effective supply of natural gas, not subject to any choke points by anyone," Gong stresses.

🟠 In 2024, Gazprom supplied China with 31.12 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas. Deliveries are planned to reach 38 bcm in 2025.

🟠 The new pipeline, Power of Siberia 2, is designed to deliver 50 bcm annually to China. A legally binding memorandum on the project has been signed by Russia, China, and Mongolia.

🟠 China will receive gas from fields that were previously used to supply Europe.

"China is under immense pressure from Washington not to buy Russian oil and energy products... But it's pretty clear that both countries are not going to budge or be bullied into giving up their own national interests."
