China blocks Putin's key Siberia 2 gas pipeline amid reports of tearful pleading
China is stalling approval for the construction of the Siberia 2 gas pipeline, a project described as an economic lifeline for Putin, according to Russian energy market expert Mikhail Krutikhin. Putin reportedly pleaded with China in an emotional appeal to move the project forward. Krutikhin says Beijing's stance is clear: it is politely stringing Moscow along because the pipeline does not serve Chinese economic interests.
