It is widely accepted that Gazprom wants to avoid relying too much on China and will continue to ship gas to Europe as long as it can. Gazprom still plans to export over 100 billion cubic meters per year to China, including some 20 Bcm/yr via Central Asia, but securing new supply deals and building infrastructure might take up to a decade.
