I imagine Xi would if he thought he could take over Russia. It should be obvious China does not respect other nations’ boundaries or sovreignty. If Russia shows it’s that much weaker than China after the Ukraine BS, I would not put it past Xi.
Even if they could, they wouldn’t get the resources as cheaply as theyre getting them now. Also China has recall elections, if Xi went mad and unilaterally decided to go to war with a country so important to Chinas economy, he’d be booted so fast.
