According to Gazeta do Mundo, the Power of Siberia 2 guarantees 50 billion m³ per year to China and removes from the European Union the cheap energy that sustained its industry for 50 years.
The Power of Siberia 2 is not just a gas pipeline. It symbolizes a strategic reorientation of global energy, redirecting Russian gas that previously flowed to Europe towards China. For experts consulted by Gazeta do Mundo, this means that the European Union loses access to the cheap fuel that was essential for its industrial competitiveness for half a century.
The project foresees 50 billion cubic meters of gas per year, crossing Mongolia, which will profit from tariffs and will have direct access to the input. The same fields in Yamal, in Western Siberia, that supplied Germany via Nord Stream and Yamal-Europe, will now feed Chinese growth.
Direct Impact for China
For Beijing, the Power of Siberia 2 is a shield against dependence on American liquefied natural gas (LNG) and maritime transport controlled by Washington.

Land supply reduces costs and ensures stability, immune to blockades at sensitive points like the Strait of Hormuz.
Estimates indicate that by 2030, Russian gas could supply 20% of China’s demand, up from the current 10%.
This helps China maintain GDP growth even in a scenario of European recession and global instability.
The Side Effect for the United States
The agreement between Moscow and Beijing frustrates Washington’s plans to expand LNG exports to Asia.
Projects aimed at Japan and other Asian countries are threatened, while China has not imported gas from the U.S. for over six months — the longest interval since the previous trade war.
The arrival of shipments from Russian Arctic LNG, even under sanctions, demonstrates that Beijing is willing to directly challenge the White House in search of cheap energy.
Europe as the Biggest Loser
No block feels as much impact as the European Union.
For decades, cheap Russian energy sustained the German industry and European prosperity.
Since 2022, with the war in Ukraine, the EU has been trying to reduce dependency and has promised to eliminate imports by 2027.
The problem is the price. Calculations from Hungary indicate that additional costs reach 2 billion euros per year, doubling the price of gas for households and tripling the electricity bill.
With the Power of Siberia 2, the door to Europe closes, and Russian gas flows exclusively to the East.
Geopolitical Reorientation by 2030
According to Gazeta do Mundo, the Power of Siberia 2 is more than an energy project: it is a pillar of the Moscow–Beijing alliance.
It consolidates strategic cooperation after Vladimir Putin’s four-day visit to China, weakens Europe, and challenges U.S. energy dominance.
The result is a structural change in the global energy market, with prices affected by lower Chinese demand from alternative suppliers and the exclusion of Europe from cheap Russian gas.
By 2030, this redistribution could reshape not only energy geopolitics but also the global economic balance.
In your view, does the Power of Siberia 2 definitively strengthen China and weaken the European Union or is there still room for Europe to reinvent itself without Russian energy? Leave your opinion in the comments — we want to hear from those experiencing this impact firsthand.
Essa submissão total e absoluta dos vassalos europeus aos EUA, já faz parte da história e geopolítica mundial, como um dos maiores crimes lesa pátria, perpetrado por essa leva de incompetentes, ineptos e traidores desgovernantes europeus!
Será que o Brasil poderia fornecer gás para a Europa via Internet?
Vejo que a Europa pode se reestruturar energeticamente ou mesmo invertir ou buscar fornecedores como o Brasil que com certeza em gás e que não é profundamente ainda explorado e tem espaço o Brasil aproveitar esta lacuna.
O Brasil não consegue nem aproveitar o que tem pra uso próprio, acaba importando gás da Bolívia e da Argentina… E mesmo que aproveite todo o potencial produtivo, ainda não consegue atender a própria demanda, quem dirá exportar.
Reclama com o mito ele vendeu nossas empresas de gás lembra disso kkkk
O gás Brasil-bolivia foi pra ajudar os estados do sul aonde a exploração de petróleo é praticamente zero
