China on the other hand has basically stuck with the Russian propaganda narrative throughout the invasion. That is blaming the west and not laying any blame whatsoever at Putins feet. They are intensifying economic and political cooperation. As signalled amongst other things by their "no limits partnership" and regular top level visits.

I see that you have have fallen victim to a propaganda narrative. But it's not a Western one, it's the Rusian-Chinese narrative. And I am not sure you are aware to what extent you are parroting what the autocrats want you to think.
I really doubt China is falling to any propaganda from outside their country.
As best as I can tell, Russia is just another resource for China to drain to fuel its own expansion. Chinese labor costs have been going up as quality of life improves, but Russian labor is (and will continue to be) extremely cheap. Russian fossil fuels also cost well below market rate thanks to US sanctions.
As for Russia invading Ukraine, that's not really something China would care about. They have no economic or cultural interest with small eastern European countries. China's much more likely to intervene in African conflicts if anything, due to their recent large investments in some parts there. I'm sure if Russia did anything China truly didn't like they could make them heel in short order.
