Does Russia gas China instead of Europe?

Does Russia gas China instead of Europe?

What happens on gas between Russia and China. The article by Giuseppe Gagliano

If gas supplies by the Russian multinational Gazprom decrease towards the European Union – this decrease, which is part of an economic warfare strategy both with an anti-European and an anti-American function -, those towards China have instead increased, as clearly stated by the Russian news agency Tass .

On the other hand, gas supplies to China through Power of Siberia had already exceeded the contractual level with China by more than a third. We are naturally alluding to the contract established between the Russian multinational and the Chinese CNPC signed in 2014.

Specifically, it is about having supplied China about 4 billion cubic meters of gas, and this means that in 2021 the increase was about 17% compared to 2020.

If on the one hand this means that the Russian multinational will be able to play an increasingly important role in the alliance with China, on the other hand this means that China is increasingly dependent on Russia for energy.
