牛津能源研究所(Oxford Institute for Energy Studies)天然气研究负责人乔纳森斯特恩(Jonathan Stern)表示，过去一年里中国天然气需求大幅放缓，加强了中方的谈判地位。

“The Chinese are really in the driving seat. Their economy is doing poorly; gas demand is waydown on what we thought it would be. They’re in a really strong position to negotiate with theRussians, he says.

“中国人确确实实坐在驾驶员座位。他们的经济表现不佳;天然气需求远低于我们预测的水平。他们在与俄方谈判时处在真正的有利地位，他说。

There are some bright spots. The decline in the rouble since last December has stimulated anincrease in Russian exports of certain products, such as sunflower oil and beer, to China, saysEvgeny Gavrilenkov of Sberbank CIB.

也有一些亮点。俄罗斯联邦储蓄银行(Sberbank CIB)叶夫根尼加夫里连科夫(Evgeny Gavrilenkov)表示，自去年12月以来卢布下跌，推动了俄罗斯某些产品的对华出口，如葵花子油和啤酒。

“Russian manufacturing companies have become competitive in principle on the Chinesemarket, he says. “Russian small and medium-sized business is quite adaptable. If there is ademand in China it will always be possible to find some niches on the Chinese market.

“俄罗斯制造企业原则上已在中国市场变得有竞争力，他说。“俄罗斯中小企业的适应力较强。只要中国存在需求，总有可能在中国市场找到某些缝隙领域。
