Won't it hurt Europe worse, since they're already so energy poor and Russia can just sell into Asia's ever growing energy demand?

Ironically Russia only has a single small pipeline to China... They are trying to build out additional facilities but again it take time and money to do this while China loves US LNG

I didn't realize that. Does Russia export any LNG from their Pacific ports?

Yes it appears they have two facilities one which came online in 2022 but they appear to be pretty small... One exported 10 mil ton of LNG the other under 2 million. In the US the top 5 range from 12.06 mil tons to 29.5 mil tons so they are there but it doesn't seem they are super effective.
Plus ships that carry LNG are super obvious since they are so unique in design so sanctioning those ships would be super easy for the West.
