I'm not sure that you can show Ukraine on a world map, and even more so, without Wikipedia, name the number of its regions))))

China has a fresh water problem, among other natural resources like energy.
Lake Baikal has been in their sights via deals, but was taken off the table.
Manchuria was a point of contention during the USSR and CCP. Russia has used historical claims as justification, something China could do using the same logic for Manchuria.
China and Russia have only been allied during times of convenience. Their ties have never really been strong. Once that convenience is gone for China, the relationship falls apart.
While the US has adversarial relations with China, the fact remains they make more money from the US than Russia. Russia right now is a way for China to push against the west, but eventually they’ll have to measure what the risk reward is.
I very often participate in various conferences, round tables and other meetings in different cities of Russia

I feel sorry for you. You are wishful thinking.
In Orthodoxy, Gog and Magog are considered to be the current USA and China.

The communist thought for a moment and answered that on the "Moral Code of the Builder of Communism", adopted at the congress of the Communist Party in 1961. It was a masterpiece!!! Not only does the text of the Moral Code basically repeat the commandments of Jesus Christ, only reworked in a communist way, but it was an admission that the entire multi-thousand-year history of mankind is simply thrown into the trash, broken over the knee and issued anew.

All the "arguments" of my British leftists remind me of a song that was written exactly 2 weeks after the assassination of President Kennedy, when in such cases normal people are in mourning.

Hi. If you go to the very bottom of my profile with my threads, you will see several topics about how the communists are taking over the USA. I was criticized a lot back then, but now, seeing the current situation in the West, when the communists have already taken over, I believe that I was right to warn you all a few years ago.

The conflict in Ukraine is first and foremost a civilizational war between the West in its current form and conservative religious Russia.
