Careful - Russia in fact has one gas pipeline to China and maybe even a 2nd by now.

"It's just not true that Russia is diverting supplies to Asia. Hello, there aren't any pipelines to Asia in which to move gas. As for
oil, yes, but they are competing against oil coming from other countries which are closer to Asia and can deliver it more cheaply.

Russia’s ‘gas pivot’ to Asia: How Europe can protect itself and pursue the green transition

Europeans need to pay closer attention to Russia’s growing opportunities to sell gas to China and other countries in Asia – otherwise they could be left even more at Moscow’s mercy

Since the end of last year, the new Power of Siberia pipeline has been in operation, transporting gas from Russia’s Chayandinskoye field to China, with another field to be opened by 2022. In March this year, Vladimir Putin gave the green light to move ahead with a second pipeline, Power of Siberia 2. This facility would supply gas from Siberia’s Yamal peninsula, which holds Russia’s biggest gas reserves – and which currently supplies EU customers.

Russia’s ‘pivot to Asia’ in supplying gas should come as no surprise.
