Energy-starved China is exploring ways to tap Saudi Arabian gas through a tie up with Gulf-South Asia (GUSA) Gas Company of Qatar that already
has a joint venture for a deep sea pipeline with Pakistan.
Once gas from the ‘Pak-Qatar’ pipeline reaches Gwadar on the Balochistan coast where Beijing has already invested heavily in a port and a military base, the Chinese want to move the gas along the Indus river by a land route across the Karakorum Highway via a ‘white oil pipeline’ feeding its energy grid.
