Russia, once Turkmenistan's main buyer, stopped imports from the country at the beginning of 2016, leaving the country strongly dependent on Chinese demand. Chinese payments for Turkmen natural gas are believed to be pegged to global energy prices, which are currently low, and set against the cost of construction of the China-Central Asia pipeline financed by Beijing.
