Putin sent two big gifts, and the Sino-Russian gas trade went further, so he asked Biden if he was in a hurry

At the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, I saw an old friend, who is Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin's arrival this time, not only to participate in the opening ceremony, but also to hold a meeting with the mainland leaders, after the talks, the two sides issued a public statement saying that Gazprom and China National Petroleum Corporation will sign a Far East gas supply and marketing agreement contract, the contract stipulates that Russia's annual natural gas exports to China will increase by 26 percent, that is, 10 billion cubic meters, which also makes Russia's annual natural gas exports to China to 48 billion cubic meters.

It is worth noting that this supply and marketing agreement is also the first agreement signed by the two sides in the past two and a half years, and the last cooperation between the two sides was in December 2019. The agreement shows that over the next three decades, Russia will supply nearly one trillion cubic meters of natural gas to the Chinese market, and the total value of the China-Russia Eastern Route project has exceeded the $400 billion mark. According to statistics, in the whole year of 2021, the total consumption of natural gas on the mainland exceeded the mark of 360 billion cubic meters, of which the domestic production of natural gas totaled 207.9 billion cubic meters, the imported natural gas totaled 168.5 billion cubic meters, and most of the imported natural gas was imported from Russia.

The highlight of this agreement is not only the growth, but also the settlement method of the two sides, which has always been settled in using dollars in natural gas trade cooperation, and this time it has changed from using dollars to euros. In this regard, some experts have analyzed that this agreement between China and Russia has undoubtedly released an extremely active and friendly signal to the EU, that is, China and Russia have always welcomed the accession of European countries. You know, after the United States built up the dollar hegemony, the euro's life has not been very good, everywhere must be suppressed by the dollar, the United States has continued to fan the British fire, let it leave the European Union at an early date, and recently constantly instigated Ukraine to provoke Russia, there are also reasons for the encirclement and suppression of the euro. However, the Americans' abacus, of course, China and Russia also look in the eyes, this Sino-Russian gas trade contract, directly abandon the dollar, find the euro to play together, a move to make the United States allies into enemies, I have to say that it is really wonderful.

In addition, after the end of the Sino-Russian summit, the two countries also signed an oil order spanning up to ten years, and Russia will provide China with about ten million tons of oil every year, ten million a year, ten years is one hundred million, this astronomical figure to the Americans to see, I am afraid that it is not to envy and hate.

It is worth noting that this oil contract, like the previous gas contract, will also abandon the US dollar and all settle in euros, making the EU the biggest beneficiary outside China and Russia. In this regard, some experts have made an analysis that China and Russia may also be giving the EU a step, after all, clear-eyed people know that EU countries are not willing to follow the United States to sanction Russia, but if you want to quit, you always need a reason. Now the best reason is coming, and then it depends on how these countries respond.
