PROSPECTS OF COOPERATION OF RUSSIA AND CHINA IN THE GAS SPHERE
The article is devoted to the prospects of cooperation between Russia and China in the gas sector. The author analyzes the direction of development of Chinese energy and the dynamics of growth of energy consumption. Environmental problems force the Chinese leadership to reduce the share of coal with its replacement by gas and renewable energy, which leads to an increase in gas consumption, due to its imports. The reasons why Russia can become one of the main suppliers of gas to China are indicated.
