Abstract: The article considers gas cooperation between China and Russia in the context of the Western sanctions policy towards Russia, as well as its prospects. Such indicators as the volume of natural gas exports to China from 2021 to 2024, the rate of export growth over the same period, gas prices and routes through which gas is supplied to China are analyzed. The author concludes that gas supplies from the Russian Federation to China are steadily growing against the backdrop of a decrease in the total volume of Russian pipeline gas exports. Moreover, gas is exported to China at prices that suit both parties to the agreements, given the high growth rate of supplies. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the routes through which gas is supplied from Russia to China. The work focuses on a comparison of two new proposed routes for gas supplies from the Russian Federation to China via Mongolia and Kazakhstan based on a number of production and financial characteristics. It is concluded that cooperation between China and Russia in the gas sector is mutually beneficial, with the exception of some projects such as Power of Siberia - 2.
