Development of relations between Russia and China in the energy sector: gas pipeline and LNG projects

The article discusses the prospects for the development of relations between Russia and China in the field of natural gas trade. The authors analyze the situation in China's energy sector and conclude that gas consumption in China will grow. At the same time, the facts indicate that China's own gas production will not be able to meet the demand, and it will lead to an increase in imports. The authors point out that Russia is one of the priority suppliers for China, since gas will be delivered via safe routes, and it is important in light of the growing tension in China-US relations.
