Saying it to be US-funded would be an overreach imo. It is an legit academic report with Chinese academia from Peking university.
However, keep in mind, IISS’s report is not the only one out there. And the institution itself is not the most tech-oriented one as well. I have a feeling that this SCMP editor chose this specific report to express her own opinion more or less. (Since no mentioning of other institutions’ reports on this topic were mentioned in her SCMP piece)
Also, this SCMP editor is definitely biased in her opinion towards mainland China. (Search her twitter account and you will see why)

why you think there estimation will be way off?.
in year 2020 there total imports were 48bcm. about third from Gazprom. which will be 16bcm.
Gazprom saying that by October. they already at 110%. which means atleast 30bcm imports by October of 2021. Gazprom is usually around 1/3 for Turkey. so we can expact Turkey surpassing Germany.
This..
I have known it for years that Turkey will overtake germany with time and so did many insiders.. The consumption will even widen further.. The GDP PPP shows some hints about it and this estimates were pre-covid but still everyone is on track but delayed between 2 to 3 years due to covid..
Alot of ppl got caught up in the lira debacle few months which is resolved now and it was the government behind the devaluation but due to media pressure had to reverse it and the idea behind it was to increase export and minimize import to very low numbers this would have been huge victory in the long term but alarmist media ruined all of that with the pressure and they had to abort plan.. Turkey wants to limit imports by alot and they can't put huge tariffs on trade partners without backlash and tit for tat hence the devulation was the route but due to media it is also off the plan or atleast now as the president wants to get re-elected but he has to find other methods doing a china by counter-feit everyting is not a bad idea.. China even kicked out uber after few months and quickly put a local counter-feit uber in place and I have seen some diss this tactics not realizing how massive game changer it is meaning you are keeping all the money inside,.. Probably one of the biggest success story in china.. if Turkey creates this tactics to butcher imports or half it then her economy could even double up..
The reason turkey out runs germany eventually on all estimates comes down to geolocation Turkey is in the heart of the world literally a central point of the world

I love democracy
You are basically clucthing straws.
they gave daily consumption in January. which is far higher than anything Germany can achieve with one pipe. Russia has banned Yamal-Belarus Pipe and Germany has to sell gas from storage in reverse flow to Poland.
Gazprom exports to Turkey increased by 83% in November. Turkey has piped gas from Iran and Azerbijan and much robust LNG infrastructure.
just add one thing to prediction. If Germany economy become so small relative to others. than Russia will completely ban any exports to it. they did this with Ukraine.This..
