China's LNG demand increased 16% in 2022, while their GDP fell. China is the world's largest importer and their imports have been on the rise, however rising prices are putting a squeeze on them. I don't see how Russia having fewer customers and increasing the cost to sell to Europe doesn't benefit China.

Meanwhile, skepticism of the USA over the idea the USA blew it certainly helps China.
