Abstract

Russia has abundant gas resources located in direct proximity to China and is able to satisfy a significant share of gas demand of the world’s second largest economy. For long, Russia's attempts to enter China's rapidly growing gas market were to no avail. Despite the eventual conclusion of a long-negotiated Sino-Russian gas contract in May 2014, some uncertainties about Russia-China gas cooperation persist. The article addresses the Chinese gas market principal trends, examines Russia's current position as China's supplier and scrutinizes Russia's China-bound gas export potential. The article explores whether Russia's interest to further expand in China's gas market can materialize and how Russia needs to act in order to attain this goal.
