China doubled its import of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia in February from a year earlier, amid deepening relations between the two countries that continued even after Moscow invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.

Beijing bought nearly 401,000 tons of Russian LNG last month, Bloomberg reported on March 21, citing data from Chinese customs officials. That volume made up 8 percent of China’s total LNG imports in February.
