Russia was keen because it is facing resistance to its plans to export gas to europe some European Countries and the United States have tried to Block Development of a new pipeline to germany they think it will leave europe too dependent on russian gas so russia wants to shore up its strategic ally to the east but china to more russian gas means less reliance on liquefied natural gas shipments from the United States and middle Eastern Countries potentially implemented by u.
