Russia-China oil link nears completion

Construction of the first Russia-China oil pipeline is going well and is expected to be completed by next year, said experts from both countries.

The pipeline will initially supply China 10 million tons annually. It will gradually increase to 30 million tons a year.

The feasibility of three more gas pipelines from Russia to China is also being discussed, said Li Guoyu, an expert with the China National Petroleum Corporation.
