Resumo

A cooperação energética é o principal elo no relacionamento entre Rússia e China. O interesse russo nessa cooperação é, sobretudo, assegurar demanda para suas exportações energéticas, adquirir capital para investimento e aproveitar a mão de obra chinesa. E o interesse chinês é ter acesso aos recursos naturais russos e investir seu capital excedente. Apesar da coincidência de oferta e demanda e da proximidade geográfica, o mercado energético russo é voltado majoritariamente para Europa e o fornecimento energético chinês obtido sobretudo do Oriente Médio e da Ásia Central. É a necessidade de diversificação energética que inicia a mudança desse cenário e impulsiona a cooperação sino-russa. O objetivo do artigo consiste em analisar a cooperação energética sino-russa. Para tanto, o artigo está estruturado em três partes: primeiro, apresenta o comércio energético sino-russo, em seguida aborda os acordos firmados entre os dois países; e por fim, analisa a cooperação energética. Conclui-se que essa cooperação tende a ser duradoura em razão dos vínculos energéticos criados com os acordos de fornecimento a longo prazo e a construção de infraestruturas. Ademais, constata-se que a cooperação é estratégica para ambos países, pois oferece alternativa às demais relações energéticas proporcionando a liberdade de ação necessária para defender seus interesses em questões político-securitárias.
