Russia is a paradise in terms of underground resources. I think Kazakhstan is the only country neighboring Russia that does not need Russian gas. I understand very well the dependence on gas in the northern region of China, because my own country, Turkey, is also completely dependent on Russian and Turkmenistan gas.
I didn't know that the PRC and Taiwan were so close in terms of relations. When I read documentaries and news, it is always mentioned about the conflicts between the two countries and the PRC's violation of Taiwan airspace. It seems that the facts and the news are very different.
