La Cina sospende le importazioni di elettricità dalla Russia a causa della disputa sui prezzi

Ahh, trouble in paradise. 😬

Russia prices are more expensive than Chinese domestic power rates so it is unprofitable to import. Russia is also facing its own energy shortages in its far east region, which has left very little surplus electricity available to sell abroad.

So the electricity flow has effectively been paused until both sides can agree on new terms.

Is the Kremlin now tinkering with devaluing the ruble?
Just this autumn, they were propping it up by almost 20%.

Everybody be beefing with their friends nowadays.

It seems to be circumstantial.
