China is not a Russian ally though. China is an opportunistic state. They make agreements and trade with anyone who they think will further their goals. Thus they trade with Russia because by doing so they gain influence in a diminishing state that controls a lot of resources (Russia's far east is increasingly becoming Chinese by population and companies for a reason)

China doesn't make friends, they make deals with anyone and everyone as long as they think it is positive for China.
