Also, they can bring it in by rail from Russia. So they can avoid the seaward path.

Uranium is better for Chinese energy security than oil. But this still leaves China at Moscow's mercy. That's not too differet, energywise, than the situation is now.

China imports substantially all of its uranium from Kazakhstan and Namibia, and a tiny bit from US. Russia is insignificant.
