From The Standard:
Russia will give priority to China in supplying oil through a planned Siberian pipeline as the two countries build up energy cooperation, Premier Wen Jiabao said.
Wen appeared to be trying to put a positive spin on Russia’s choice of a competing Japanese plan that would have the pipeline run to the Pacific, bypassing China.
Moscow later agreed to add a branch line to carry crude to the mainland’s northeast.
