You will see Russia and China increase cooperation on almost every geopolitical front now and in the future because it is in both their interests to do so in reaction to the action of a common threat. You’re already seeing it. It is Coase Theorem in its base form.

China and Russia are unlikely to exist as functional states, at least in their current forms, in the next 20 years. They are both in demographic collapse. My biggest concern with Russia is the dying-out of the ethnic Russian population and their Turkic Muslim southerners becoming the dominant group and having access to Russia's nuclear arsenal in 50-60 years. China will fragment and their coastal cities will form economic (and maybe even military) ties with foreign governments. Shanghai and Beijing like each other about as much as Portland and Chattanooga do.

Russia needs China more now due to the unpredicted length of the war. China did not think it would last this long and as it helps Russia and the war drags on it will drag China into it via world opinion. China can't keep its hands clean by helping Russia indefinitely. The threat of China and Russia as been around for 70 years. Russia has zero love for China and that is not changing any time soon.
