Probably not for long given the state of the Rouble and the economy. Tech-wise Russia has nothing to offer and when it comes to the stuff China might be interested in, such as ores and oil, well you'd have to not send miners to the front to continue producing them. That Russia of all countries is importing metals should make you stop and think.

Russia provides a buffer, it's the same thing as North Korea. China aids NK to keep US allies as far away from themselves as possible.
