to china over thirty years saw seen from twenty fifteen to make it all happen the gas giant also announced it would start building a new pipeline to china next year diversifying its customers is a significant ambition for russia it provides a hedge against a drop in demand from you rope in the event of an economic slowdown more because of the way of going inside. and the reason for growth is so strong in asia right now is because they are buying. centralized economy. paul says they are bad on that they decided to go market real. but russia faces stiff competition to the east most so then in western europe as china borders the nations of central asia which have considerable gas reserves moreover countries
