While some snowflakes in Russia still don't trust China, the general consensus is that China is regarded as an ally.
What Russians have to learn is that China can be depended on as a friend. China is not gonna be that perfect ally like Belarus who will approve of everything Russia is doing. But China can be depended on to be a true friend to help Russia out of some deep trouble. As long as Russia is a friend. China had never forced Russia to submit as a junior. Nothing like what the US and EU did. Even now when Russia needed China more than ever, China had never bragged that it had Russia in its pocket. Not like how the Indian media were bragging about taking advantage of Russia's isolation from the West. That is what a true friend does. Help, but also respect.
Whatever Russians think about China today, I think things are going in the right direction. Sooner or later, the Russians will learn that China is actually a good friend. Not the perfect military ally, but a good friend to keep. India is just lip service and hot air. Right now India is using Russia as a bargaining chip against the West and China. When India sees that Russia is no longer in its interest, it'll abandon Russia without any qualms.
Good. It's about time that China and Russia work together properly to protect the BRI militarily against terrorists sponsored by hostile powers. This is what's worth fighting for. Not that Prigozhin temper-tantrum crap.
Only the elderly and foreign exchange students are pro-Chinese in this interview. Everybody else are disapproving to outright anti-Chinese, and the kids are pro-US.
Here's a more optimistic interview.
