Russian energy giants have recently frequently set new gas supply records to China, showing that Russia attaches great importance to China's energy market. Among them, the China-Russia-Mongolia natural gas pipeline is regarded as a top priority. According to Gazprom, since the beginning of this year, they have broken the record of ** natural gas to China through the "Power of Siberia 1" pipeline five times in a row. This shows Russia's determination and efforts to strengthen energy cooperation with China. At the same time, the China-Russia-Mongolia gas pipeline (known as the "Power of Siberia 2" pipeline) is also under intense preparation. Although the specific terms are still being negotiated, Mongolia, as a transit country, is a little anxious and hopes to finalize the relevant matters with the Chinese and Russian leaders as soon as possible. The negotiations faced by both sides are more difficult, as the volatility of the global gas market makes them more complicated. This will be crucial for energy cooperation between China and Russia for decades to come.
Energy cooperation between Russia and China has a long history. Although the size of China's energy market is not yet comparable to that of Europe as a whole, its potential is huge. Russia hopes to be able to lay out China's energy market in advance in order to reap economic and political benefits. Signing a long-term** contract can not only bring considerable economic benefits, but also provide more leverage in the face of financial sanctions from the United States and Europe. In addition, strengthening energy cooperation with China can seize the opportunity, because in addition to Russia, Qatar, Australia and the Central Asian country of Turkmenistan are also Russian competitors in the field of natural gas. Therefore, in the Sino-Russian gas negotiations, Russia showed China its energy export capacity by setting a new record for single-day gas deliveries to China, trying to suggest that only an energy power like Russia can meet China's growing demand.
One of the biggest problems in the Sino-Russian gas negotiations is the ** issue. Negotiations over the Power of Siberia 1 pipeline have been repeatedly blocked in the past, and they were finally negotiated at the last minute. Now, negotiations on the China-Russia-Mongolia gas pipeline are still ongoing, and both gas supply methods and payment methods are core factors that need to be further discussed. These problems are directly related to the success or failure of the negotiations, and they are also the most difficult problems to overcome. In addition, after the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia's natural gas exports to Europe have almost been interrupted, and in order to find new export markets, Russia is bound to strengthen energy cooperation with China. However, the uncertainty of the negotiations may lead to a delay in the start date of the China-Russia-Mongolia gas pipeline, which will affect Russia's strategic planning.
Sino-Russian energy cooperation is of great strategic importance to Russia. In the face of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the uncertainty of the European market, Russia hopes to ease the pressure and break its dependence on the European market by strengthening energy cooperation with China. On the Chinese side, energy cooperation is also in line with its needs for energy security and economic development. However, the difficulty of the Sino-Russian gas negotiations lies in the first issue. The two sides need to compromise and compromise in this regard in order to reach a mutually beneficial and win-win agreement. At the same time, in the medium and long term, Sino-Russian energy cooperation should also take into account sustainable development and environmental protection factors. The two sides should strengthen cooperation and jointly promote the innovation of energy technology and the development and utilization of environmentally friendly energy. Only in this way can China-Russia energy cooperation truly achieve win-win and sustainable development.
