Who does China get gas from?

To mitigate this reliance on LNG, China embarked on a strategic shift, focusing on building pipelines to diversify its natural gas sources.

One such initiative saw the establishment of pipelines connecting China to Myanmar and Central Asia, allowing for the import of natural gas from these regions.

In 2014, China made a significant stride in its energy diversification efforts by signing an agreement with Russia on natural gas imports.

The agreement centered on the Power of Siberia pipeline, a major infrastructure project designed to transport natural gas from Russia to China.

China's LNG supply landscape in that year was diversified, with 85% originating from Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Qatar. This dependency posed challenges for the country's energy security.
