The Chinese are known for executing crazy big infrastructure projects quickly and well. That energy is valuable. Now maybe shipping gas across Siberia is impossible. But if it isn't and 1 unusually clever Asian out of a population of ~2 billion figures out how to do it economically then this series of forcing moves might look really silly in hindsight.

Where this myth about "shipping gas across Siberia is impossible" comes from? Projects like Yamal LNG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamal_LNG are already operational. On top of that Chinese gas consumers are not dramatically further away than consumers in western Europe - it's only matter of 2-3 years to build a pipeline to connect them.
