Europe is Switching Energy Dependence from Russia to China



For years now, Europe has depended on cheap Russian natural gas for its energy needs. Its industries, and in a way, the European Union’s whole economy has depended critically on Russian energy sources. The absence of Russian energy sources has now brought ruin upon European industries and the bloc’s economy. In their bid to shun reliance on Russian energy, European countries have taken several steps. In fact, the European Union is now shifting its energy reliance from Russia, to CHINA! Remember, much of the world sees China as an authoritarian country which has little to no regard for international rules. That in no way seems to be stopping Europe from hopping right into Beijing’s lap with its basket of energy needs. There are already signs of China beginning to exert political pressure on Europe. As a matter of fact, that pressure is intended to further draw Europe into Beijing’s solar energy net. Watch to know more.

  1. When did Europan politicians ever had heads ?
    Russia has been the dream come true of stable cheep massive gas to Europe. Such a thing will never come again from elsewhere.
    Putin has created a world miracle by positively changing Russia from having 2 functional churches to now have 14 000 flourishing Christian churches. He has abolished communism. China IS a Communist dictatorship with next to no Christian freedom of church and faith.

  2. Unlike flow of gas which needs to be constant solar panels last for decades leaving enough time to find alternative sources .Solar cant replace fossil but it can reduce fossil consumption during the day .Most energy consumption happens during daytime.

  3. How much more incompetence can come out of the EU Leadership…What FN Idiots…
    China is running all over the World trying to by up Oil for themselves since China is in need as well.

  4. Your conclusion is very naive. Once solar panels are installed, they will keep producing electricity. So to compare fossil fuels with RENEWABLE is naive to put it mildly.

  5. Funny, China has no energy for itself. Needs heavy imports to keep their power on which (much like California) it can not keep on. This channel is a Modi mouth piece of propaganda for India.

  6. Olaf Scholz carries sole responsibility with his shattered foreign policy for this energy crisis by weaponizing Nord Stream 2 blindly obeying the orders from the USA. Now not only Germany but the entire of Europe is paying the hefty price.

  7. China relies upon Russia for coal, gas, and oil. Then Europe buys solar panels from China.
    Will that work? Will solar be sufficient to power German industries? The world is in an
    historical crisis precipitated by the US bioweapon pandemic, and then US demanded
    Europe impose sanctions upon Russia which backfired on themselves. We may need
    a new revelation beyond the Cartesian with science and technology at its apogee.

  8. The gas that China sell to Russia the buy from Russia and sell it at a mark up to Europe. China do not currently have the natural resources to supply, their energy self-sufficiency rate reaching more than 80 percent in 2021.. China purchases large volumes of Russian natural gas via Siberian pipelines and is now selling the surplus gas overseas. According to The Financial Times, Europe is leaning heavily on the eastern nation to reach its objectives of filling its gas reserves before the start of the winter. Russia can cut these supplies and choke of the EU.

  9. Solar panels do not increase energy dependence, they lower it. And it is not a snide remark to call out Europe on its hypocrisy on green energy and then switching to coal.

    So China has not done anything wrong unless if you don't like China then anything they do will face criticism.

  10. I guess Europe should make there own natural gas, don't depends on china or Russia,do something,if china can steal technology then you can do as well

  11. The dependence of Europe's energy needs from Russia would never have been a problem as long as Europe stays independent from the US and not follow their orders like little dogs. Why do you think that Russia should still support Europe with cheap energy after they imposed sanction to them and openly declared that they want to destroy Russia? The same you could also say if Europe becomes dependent from China.

  12. EU has tremendous brains! No one can beta them. They want to switch from one dependency to another one. EU is already dependent on China in a huge way … All electrical and electronic stuff you see in ordinary shops are Made in China.
