China has the best chance of ending the war by aligning itself with the western world and imposing sanctions. They are trading partners and could threaten and stop to buy gas/oil/goods from Russia and Putin would have no choice but to retreat. By turning a blind eye, it certain China is supporting Russia.

As for the gas - it's quite probable that even before the war Russians were selling it at loss, purely to stay relevant. Which means China buying it hurts Russian economy more than keeping away. And of course it benefits China. Besides - what exactly would be the point of isolating Russia altogether? A new USSR? Because that's precisely what Rashists want. China wants a pacified, but functioning vassal state instead. Or perhaps states, because there's no reason really for anything east of Ural to remain with Russia.
