SOCHI, Russia - Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Monday oversaw the launch of a landmark pipeline that will transport natural gas from Siberia to northeast China, an economic and political boost to ties between Moscow and Beijing.
The move cements China’s spot as Russia’s top export market and gives Russia a potentially enormous new market outside Europe. It also comes as Moscow is hoping to launch two other major energy projects — the Nord Steam 2 undersea Baltic gas pipeline to Germany and the TurkStream pipeline to Turkey and southern Europe.
“This step takes Russo-Chinese strategic cooperation in energy to a qualitative new level and brings us closer to the task, set together with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, of taking bilateral trade to $200 billion by 2024.” Flows via the pipeline are expected to gradually rise to 38 billion cubic metres per year in 2025, possibly making China Russia’s second-largest gas customer after Germany, which bought 58.50 bcm of gas from Russia last year.
Russian pipeline gas will compete against other pipeline gas supplies to China, including from Turkmenistan, as well as against shipments of sea-borne liquefied natural gas .
Anytime I see Xi and Putin, I see Mao and Stalin.
merci
It is fantastic to see China fall into Putin's gas trap.
Imagine if Trump does to US natural gas what he’s done to American farmers. GOP SenateGOP of course have no comment. They don’t have US interests, only their own. SenateDems HouseDemocrats JoeBiden KamalaHarris CNN MSNBC
Oh boy! Cold War 2 Electric Bugaloo!
Putin and Xi play the long game while our genius just talks.
Putin thanks Trump in private.
Great stuff congrats to them both 👌🏼
Turkey (TurkStream) gas pipeline and now a gas pipeline somewhere in China 'to boost economic and political ties'. Are the Russians really rushin'? BUT in the West, 'cut off at the pass'! U.S. FBI says 'no' to Russian developed mobile app. 'Potential counterintelligence threat'.
no country can win America alone in the world...
And the foundation for WW III
A Russia/China gas line should scare the hell out of every American. Thi circus has to end. Remove and replace Trump with competent leadership for the safety of America. This is not a game anymore. Vote for national security, not just because you can relate to the ass in office.
And this is where gas prices go sky high in Europe 🙈🤷🏻♂️🤣
Congratulations to The Blob for setting us up for a two-front war. You guys rule
Can’t see Extinction Rebellion protesting over this one.
merci de comprendre le sens intime de ma reponse au prestigieux president terroriste des arabes
in one decade ( plus or minus ) China will take gas from Siberia for free. In the ancient time Siberia it was reign by Ming Dinasty
That is before NATO meeting 🤔
?
You vote Trump - you change the geopoli landscape...exactly what Putin wanted...
Is it just me or is every headline from Reuters now capitulation to Putin or Trump?
I would expect everyone to be happy the emissions from gas are less than coal which China uses in abundance.
oh shitsnacks 'the west' is fvcked
One corrupt regime helping another... not truly historic
And no one knows at what price.... lol at putin for selling gas just to show off. Lol at eu for reacting
Meanwhile, the Orange Menace is focused on isolationism and America First. JFC.
Sanctions against Russia only harm Europe and should end post haste.
Western countries should team up to resist the evil power then
All that Russiagate is doing is causing Russia to more into the arms of china. This will only help China supplant the USA as the worlds superpower
American sanctions only forces two other super powers to team up. Not good sign for the western super powers. But it’s about time American supremacy comes to an end.
Za beck door.
There was no annexation of Crimea, as you very well no. The USA and the EU tried to occupy Crimea through their marionettes in Ukraine. after the putsch they instigated, but the people of Crimea chose to go back to their native country, Russia.
Russian Gas geirerek şarkı söyleyebilir RA yes 😛G❤️
.jkenney .fordnation Oil to China? Not so much now ...
Actually, only a billion for Russian state coffers. The rest to Putin and his thieving friends.
Thank you Trump for bringing China and Russia together again. China originally wanted to be close to the United States.
New ways around Sanctions
Pooh gets a pipeline.
That why NG plunged
This headline in itself tells me that our world leaders are finally thinking about reaching out to one another and others to better their countries and their lives. It also tells me that they are also more open to world trade. I would love to see more countries working together.
I love Russia and China, I wish them lasting success, cause they stand in our side against the Muslim extremists supported by the West.
bravo vive mao vive lenine vive poutine vive xijinping
KremlinRussia_E awfully big investment when studies show that with EV cars the demand for oil and gas will be virtually gone. Now my plan is to embrace technology to propel us into the future. Not use grandma's old antiquated technology. realDonaldTrump BBCWorld XHNews
One to watch out for?!
what is this the goofy wave file footage show
CyrusToulabi The current news is only covering stories to distract the audience. Hope people see the forest through the trees soon.
Makes geographic sense.
I kissing Putins ass didn't do the Job...Trump
Will it transport honey directly to Xi?
The attack: Control the resources, control the world. The defense: Create new resources, educate the world.
Putin wants Xi evil leader Xi to run the double name bullshit on a bulls on parade song that provokes evil to turn up to preset locations and break out the caged preset parking lot reserving the spots to false handicap people or just handicap for short.
Siberia will be taken by China, after all gass will be free
This is a headline
Russia and China now get together. Nothing bad can happen from this, right? The rednecks screwed this country just because they could. For no other reason.
Heartland achieved.
Already marked for future air strikes by the u.s. air force, no doubt.
SpeakerPelosi KamalaHarris JoeBiden ewarren JustinTrudeau Putin is capotalizing off of every opportunity to build his economy and influence.
تواصل وتعاون وتعارف الشعوب والحضارات
Through the permafrost?
Where's realDonaldTrump ? He's missing the assh*le convention-
聊胜于无吧，给美国点颜色而已
China: Winter is coming, I need more energy!
You can bet Putin doesn't care what China is doing in HK. The Bear and the Dragon working together.
Big massage to USA 💥
