Em outro estonteante pacote, Rússia e China firmam mais acordos energéticos de 30 anos.
- Assim China escapa da chantagem dos EUA no Oriente Médio.
- Assim Rússia escapa da chantagem dos EUA na Europa.
- Europa arriscou intimidar Rússia, agora fica à beira perder o gás.
The two countries have followed with a dazzling array of major new energy agreements from gas to oil to coal. Taken as a totality it amounts to a major strategic and geopolitical shift in relations between the two giant nations of Eurasia that will have implications for the future of Europe as well as the United States. On September 17, Russia’s Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller briefed Vladimir Putin on negotiations with the Chinese to supply China with 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas via western route over thirty years, according to the Russian Interfax news and Chinese Xinhua news agencies. Like the recent “eastern” gas pipeline deal, it too will run for 30 years.
It will reportedly be signed between Gazprom and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) in November. The two have also discussed the possibility of more than doubling or even trebling the gas volume later, up to between 60 billion to 100 billion cubic meters. The new deal on Russian western gas will partly utilize existing Russian gas pipelines. The new western pipeline gas deal is in addition to the major deal signed in May, 2014, between China and Russia after more than a decade of negotiating. That eastern or East Route Gas Project, calls for construction of a gas pipeline to provide China with 38 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually, from 2018. The East Route project, officially, the “Power of Siberia,” has just begun construction this month of a pipeline from the eastern Siberian city of Yakutsk, known as the coldest city in the world, and will cost an estimated $55 billion to be completed by 2018.
