Although Russia has reportedly invested $55 billion into its pipeline deal with China, natural gas imports through the pipeline have only totaled $3.81 billion since December 2019, according to China customs data as of June, accessed through Wind Information.
The pace of Chinese purchases picked up in the first half of this year — nearly tripling from a year ago to $1.66 billion, the data showed.

you’re lying, there’s lots there

Treehuggers ought to like it. It will cause the CCP to not burn as much coal.
Oh, that is still not good? Well, bugger off, then.
Thanks. I’m not familiar with him. I’ll keep an eye out.
The “we” is you Sorosbot globalist warmongering pukes.
When is a single solitary one of you sniveling pukes going to go fight for your beloved Soros to keep his child sex trafficking network puppet state ?
*crickets*
“To the barricades !!!”
Guess that only applies to the kids you’re forcing and bamboozling to fight for your beloved god, Soros. You’re a real man.
I wouldn’t trust any of the media outlets to tell me what side of the planet the sun rose on. That you Sorosbot pukes swallow whatever globalist propaganda the Stalinazi media vomits up speaks to precisely what side you truly support.
“...for your beloved god, Soros...”
You make no sense whatsoever. You think Ukrainians are to blame for Soros. You are insane.
Perhaps you don’t understand the concept of free speech.
The right of free speech restricts the GOVERNMENT from infringing on that right.
With free speech, we can say or write whatever we want, as long as it does not DIRECTLY call for committing a crime. Likewise, a website has the right to restrict its content to whatever the hell it wants. If that website does not print your piece, there are other websites that will.
You cannot accomplish your goal without Western assistance, which will require exactly what you just claimed you do not support. We have zero business involving ourselves in a civil war to prop up and protect and preserve the most corrupt state in Europe. What's truly sad and appalling is that you guys show more passion and zeal for protecting Ukraine's "sovereign borders" than you do for the United States. We've got an open southern border with illegals flowing in by the millions -- something which effects all of us, and I don't hear a peep out of your side. But you're willing to flood FR with thousands of warmongering globalist propaganda posts for your beloved Ukraine.
“What not to like? Imagine the competitive edge China is gaining over the US on cheap abundant energy?”
That is an absolutely correct statement. How you get hatred of America out of that is your nonsensical problem. You want to explain how the US is not destroying its competitive edge? You want to explain how China is not enhancing its competitive edge with cheap Russian gas? If you can’t, you might want to consider keeping your daftness to yourself.
Three decades of corruption and epic mismanagement in Ukraine has allowed for it to become a nexus of criminality, puppet politicians, and child sex trafficking. Soros has the $$, their puppet politicians are for sale. Zelensky got his mansion in Florida.
I feel sorry for the Ukrainians, because they’ve been sold out and left as cannon fodder for their puppet leaders of globalist Stalinazi scum like Soros and Schwab and others. But they’re fighting to protect their criminal state, not for their freedom. They’ve never had that except for maybe a couple of minutes 31 years ago.
“a website has the right to restrict its content to whatever the hell it wants.”
This make sense when there is real fair competition among web sites.
However, there are a few web sites with billionaire owners who have a de facto monopoly over speech—they “own” the public square.
It took Teddy Roosevelt to recognize the reality of the monopolies of his day and deal with them harshly.
We need a Teddy Roosevelt today to take on the Big Tech monopoly mind-controllers—and destroy them.
Nope. There’s nothing there. If there was you would point it out. Which you can’t do.

When you have the government, and specifically leftists, working in conjunction with Big Tech to control what can and can’t be said (ex. the active suppression on the Hunter Biden laptop story), then you don’t have a free society; you are in the textbook definition of a fascist society (aka corporatism).
“What’s truly sad and appalling is that you guys show more passion and zeal for protecting Ukraine’s “sovereign borders” than you do for the United States.”
Fallacy!
“We’ve got an open southern border with illegals flowing in by the millions — something which effects all of us, and I don’t hear a peep out of your side.”
Lie! I’ve been opposed to illegal immigration since I was a kid in California back in the 1950s. Back then, my primary reason was because illegal immigration was an insult to my mother, who was a LEGAL immigrant, who played by the rules and did everything by the book. And, you know what? When she became an American citizen she wept. Wept! She was so happy and so proud to become an American citizen. Then, with her citizenship paper in hand she went and registered to vote as an American citizen in the 1960 election (she voted for Nixon).
I’ve opposed illegal immigration longer than you’ve drawn breath. I hate it for what it’s done to my country; and I hate the politicians and fellow-travelers who encourage it.
“But you’re willing to flood FR with thousands of warmongering globalist propaganda posts for your beloved Ukraine.”
You’re unhinged.
“That is an absolutely correct statement. How you get hatred of America out of that is your nonsensical problem. You want to explain how the US is not destroying its competitive edge?

You ARE daft. My comment was about Norse Viking’s gloating about how it diminishes the US and raises China. It had nothing at all to do with the fact China is gaining over the US on energy, as that is simple fact.
You’ve obviously never been to Ukraine. I have. It is a great people. If you want to find hubs of child sex-trafficking, I suggest you start in Washington, DC. But even with all the corruption in DC I would still defend America if invaded.
Those 18-year-olds you like to mention are not stupid. They fight the Russians because they know what is at stake. Nobody has to send them out there. I support them.
Speaking of corruption, how can anyone be more morally corrupt than you? You want 38 million to suffer invasion because there was some corruption in Kiev. But Moscow and DC corruption is okay with you. Hillary sending our uranium to Russia is okay with you. Obama promising Russia greater “flexibility” is okay with you.
Fact.

Congratulations. Why don't you direct your energies to that subject instead of defending a corrupt regime thousands of miles away ? BTW, Soros has not only his puppet in Zelensky, but was also responsible for the leftist trash that has helped in destroying California and countless other locales in America, and yet you are coming to his defense ! The hypocrisy and ignorance is off the charts.
"You’re unhinged."
Truth hurts, Hoss.
