Russian energy giant Gazprom faces challenges as output slumps

Russia and China will soon have this technology developed domestically

Translation - Russian and Chinese hackers will soon obtain this technology by stealing it from foreign computers.

The saving grace for Gazprom is that gigantic US$400 billion deal with China to export natural gas to that country. China wants Russian natural gas so they could begin shutting down their highly-polluting coal-fired power plants, which means far cleaner air in Chinese cities (it's way cheaper to clean up emissions from a natural gas-fired power plant than a coal-fired power plant).
