🛢Power of Siberia-2: China’s new energy game-changer

China's energy strategy is getting a major boost with the announcement of the Power of Siberia-2 pipeline.

🗣 According to Han Derui, a research fellow at Fudan University, "The Power of Siberia-2 will help form a complementary structure with diversified energy import channels from Central Asia, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and other regions, strengthening China’s voice in global energy governance."

"Natural gas, as a clean energy source, is playing an increasingly important role in China's energy transition and 'dual carbon neutrality' strategy. Stable supplies contribute to the continuous optimization of China’s energy structure and ensure energy security," he tells Sputnik.

🔊 Han also emphasizes that "Power of Siberia-2 is not just another energy artery following Power of Siberia-1, but an acceleration of the 'eastward pivot' of Russian energy exports amid ongoing Western sanctions."

📍 This pipeline, running through Mongolia, will also "elevate Mongolia's strategic position in energy cooperation in Northeast Asia" and "lay a solid foundation for expanding the Belt and Road Initiative in the region."
