The proposed pipeline is almost 3,000 km long. I am guessing that the sides are haggling on the details of who’s going to put up the money for construction.
Additionally, a big chunk of the pipeline goes through Mongolia, so it’s actually a three-country deal.
A third thing I’m seeing is there’s resistance from the indigenous Altai people of Siberia
Surprised it took this long. Are the logistics of a pipeline from Russia to China really that difficult?
My understanding that it was more of a bureaucratic delays where they were taking their time hammering out an agreement.
I did some digging based on your comment.
