China, the world’s biggest consumer and importer of energy, is set to turn on its taps for Russian gas on Dec 2. An enormous new pipeline, dubbed the “Power of Siberia”, will channel natural gas over 3,000 kilometres from the gasfields of Siberia to northeastern China. The pipeline was inked by Russian energy giant Gazprom back in 2014. The $400-billion deal is Russia’s biggest-ever contract. Both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected at the launch.
