You need to chill and stop treating country level relations like personal ones.

Russia acts in its interests and any country including China would be foolish to expect otherwise. It always was a militaristic nation hellbent on conquering its neighbours due to its need for warm water ports and lack of strategic natural border defensive terrain.

Right now, China needs less enemies and less headache to achieve the goal of national rejuvenation, economic development and technological breakthroughs.
No country, and particularly none of China's neighbours, deserve to be some "100% trust brother allies", not even Pakistan. It's already unhealthy to go through life with this standard held to other people, and completely delusional to think this applies to countries.

Sometimes the fengqing energy is not patriotism but harmful rage. If China actually started swinging the stick and make everyone enemies it would be in a far worse position than the USA, which has Canada, Mexico and two oceans.

Anyway, I personally predict that as China's development surpasses the West, the next Russian leader after Putin will likely re-approach the West and re-orient themselves against China. It would have already happened if not for the Western religious need to make Russia the bad guy and the Ukraine War. Those will be much more difficult times for China.

Russia's core population, economic and industrial interests are located in European Russia, right next to Europe.
China is too far away to directly threaten or influence European Russia.

So I don't see Russia going against China. The worse case scenario is Russia being neutral between China and Europe.

The next James Bond villain should be an American tech bro. BTW, about half way through this video something was said where I bursted out laughing.

The tech bros want to form a city-state called Praxis, made up only of good-looking people, socially structured into priests, traders, and warriors.
»Wired« berichtete über interne Dokumente der Firma, die den Stadtstaat gründen soll. Darin sei zu lesen, dass es in der Praxis-Stadt drei »Personengruppen« geben soll, die sämtlich männlich zu sein scheinen: »›Krieger‹, die ›muskulös‹ und ›sauber‹ sind und die Stadt vor Bedrohungen schützen; ›Priester‹, die ›sehr dünn‹ sind und ›die Werte und Überzeugungen der Gesellschaft definieren‹; und ›Händler‹, die ›rundlich‹ und ›bärtig‹ sind, und zu denen Wagniskapitalgeber und Cryptowährungs-Fachleute gehören sollen.«
