I don't think the plans have anything to do with future Russian relations, the reasons are better explained here than businessinsider tabloid spam https://www.strategy-business.com/feature/A-Strategists-Guid...

Basically they want to spread their currency, expand their market to all regional neighbors and provide political/economic stability to the various regimes around them. The separatist East Turkestan crackdown has been happening for decades long before they imagined this initiative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Turkestan
