WooGlobe

Russia and China are accelerating the construction of a major new gas pipeline—linking Russia’s Pacific coast to China through the Far Eastern route. Set to begin operation in 2027, this project will initially deliver 2 billion cubic meters of gas per year, increasing to 12 billion. As Russia turns away from Europe amid sanctions, it's deepening energy ties with China in a move that could reshape the balance of power in Asia. Here's why this pipeline matters more than you think.

00:00Russia and China are quietly building one of the biggest energy links in Asia, and it's picking up pace.

00:06A brand new gas route from Russia's far east to China is under construction and moving steadily forward.

00:12This isn't just another pipeline. It's a strategic move reshaping the global energy map.

00:17The new route will send natural gas from Russia's Pacific coast into China.

00:21Connected to the Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok pipeline, it's expected to start pumping gas by 2027.

00:28China will first receive 2 billion cubic meters a year.

00:31But that number will grow to 12 billion annually.

00:34This isn't Russia's first energy link with China.

00:37The power of Siberia pipeline is already pumping gas since 2019, but the far eastern route marks a deeper shift.

00:44With western sanctions cutting Russia off from Europe, Moscow is turning to Beijing.
