market. Considering that Russia did not cut off gas flow to Europe even during the Cold War period, it is a harbinger of the seriousness of the energy crisis between Russia and Europe. In fact, the crisis between Russia
and Europe started with the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014, and Moscow has sought alternative markets, especially energy, since that date. In this context, China, Russia’s eastern neighbor and one of
the world’s largest economies, stands out.
