From what I read, The Netherlands is actually buying Russian gas through China. And The Netherlands is probably not the only EU country buying Russian gas through China [0]:
> According to research firm Kpler, Europe’s imports of LNG have soared 60 per cent year on year in the first six months of 2022. As per Nikkei, more than 4 million tonnes of Chinese LNG has probably been resold — making up roughly 7 per cent of Europe’s imports in the first half of the year. So, Europe has been purchasing Russian LNG via China – while pretending like it is highly successful in its campaign to decouple from Moscow.
> Therefore, a major part of natural gas currently in European storages continues to be of Russian origin – with the obvious caveat of it having been bought from China.
