I am doubtful of that. The distance from the major Russian gas fields to the industrial centres in China is massive and China seems to rather prefer investing money into home grown tech like nuclear and renewables (and in the short term coal plants using coal mostly mined inside China).

Of course they will happily accept cheap products made with natural gas in exchange for their higher value exports, but Russia will not benefit much from that.

That's a good point, but it may cost a similar amount to build a pipeline to China. The fossil fuel fields are about equidistant between the borders with Europe and China. That still leaves a traversal through China, but that would be over land instead of expensive underwater construction.
