Definitely, the problem is: What does Russia provide for China?

For energy, China is also all in on renewables. See this chart for what they are committed to building.

What is the status of Russian exports outside of energy?

China is all in on renewables but they are still building new coal plants today. They need all the energy they can get to power their economy. Russia can build energy pipelines to China at will, and there is plenty of time over the next 10 years to wean themselves off Germany and Europe's dependence and ramp up China exports.

Imagine China having an army / contractors which can actually perform operations and isn't scared of losses.

China is expanding in every type of energy they can get, including renewables. However, tanks and jets run on naphtha.
