Auto spell thing corrected to billion when it should have been 500 million.
BTW — There is an existing cheap-ass low volume gas pipeline from Russia to China. The Rooskie owned, Siberian gas field is only 2000+ miles north of China. Sometime in the future, China can move north to take and own this Rooskie gas field.
There are plans to build a much larger Russia-China gas pipeline called Power of Siberia Two. I am sure they will start construction soon. Russia is very good as far as making gas line piping and compressors. They are not clowns when it comes to this.
