How so? They're building another pipeline to Russia to suck up all that cheap gas.

They're probably selling them all the winter clothes, MRE's and military equipment too.

The west is also worse off since this invasion, billions have been lost sending military/humanitarian aid, billions more will likely be lost to rebuild Ukraine. China sits back not spending a dime, gets some intel on our weapon systems and our military logistics/tactics.

If things get super bad for Russia they might offer China some land for more support.
