It's not shielding Russia nearly as strongly. Being a friend of the US is more important than having oil. American friends and allies can do no wrong to the eyes of the western world

It is in China's best interest that Russia is hostile to the US. I wonder what it would take for the US to form a military alliance with Russia?

Only a government change in the US would allow an alliance with Russia. Current US government is Russophobic to the core.
