Introduction

China’s agreements with Kazakhstan and Russia, for the construction of pipelines that

will supply China with oil and natural gas from these two countries were of great

geopolitical importance, for both China and Russia as individual countries, but also as a

coalition against the U.S.A. It is not a secret that the Russian oligarchs, most of them ex

KGB agents, have formed an alliance with the Chinese communists against the

Americans.

The Benefits for the Russians and the Chinese

The Russians to begin with, sell most of their natural gas to the European markets. If the

Europeans were to boycott them, they would face severe financial difficulties. With the

new contract with the Chinese, the Russians will sell 400 billion dollars of natural gas to

the Chinese for the next 30 years and will have a second major buyer. 

The Chinese on the other hand, in contrast to the oil and natural gas rich Russians, have

to import most of their oil and natural gas. Energy dependence on the Persian Gulf is a

great handicap for the Chinese, since the Gulf is dominated militarily by the Americans

(area in the red circle). 

Moreover, the ships carrying energy from the Gulf to China have to pass though the

straits between Malaysia and Indonesia (area with blue circle). However Malaysia has a

close military cooperation with the U.S.A. Basically the Americans can very easily cut

off the Chinese energy supplies in case of a military confrontation.

With energy flowing from Kazakhstan and Russia, the Chinese ensure that they will not

run out of fuels in case of a confrontation. For an article on the tensions between the

U.S.A. and China for the Persian Gulf oil see the following Wall Street Journal article.

Moreover China has built with Turkmenistan a natural gas pipeline, following the route

Turkmenistan-Uzbekistan-Kazakhstan-China (orange line), see Wikipedia.

The Iranians

China also wants to get hold of Iranian energy. This can be done through an extension of

the Iran-Pakistan pipeline (pink line), see Forbes.

This could also be done through an extension of the Turkmenistan line to Iran (green

line). That would strengthen both China and Iran. It would greatly increase China’s

energy options and security and it would protect Iran against sanctions from the West.

We therefore see that there is a very strong coalition of inferior civilizations against the

Americans, consisting mainly of Chinese Communists, Iranian Mullahs and Russian ex

KGB agents and current oligarchs.

We could say that the Americans lost completely the energy battle of the Caspian Sea,

since they only control Azerbaijan, which is a NATO friendly country, and they only

managed to transfer some Caspian oil to the Mediterranean through the Azerbaijan-

Georgia-Turkey route (the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline). See the following map.

For the Americans and the Europeans it is very important that Europe is not heavily

dependent on Russia in terms of its energy supplies. Therefore the Americans were

hoping, and still hope, to transfer natural gas either from the Persian Gulf or from the

Caspian Sea through Turkey to Europe. That would reduce European (NATO)

dependency on Gazprom.

We should therefore not assume that the Americans have the power to fight energy rich

aborigines for ever. If we take the American military power as given, we might wake up

one day to see the Chinese Communists being the number one military power in the

world. And this is very scary.
