IMO Russia is just a pawn in this game with China. US is in two win-win scenarios with both Russia and China. Currently Russia has its hands tied and cannot interfere or support China if the Taiwan thing gets bigger. Also, irrespective of Russia winning or loosing, Europe will increase usage of American oil and gas. If China wins in a Taiwan takeover, the semiconductor industry will double up in America and if loses, then America will have military dominance in the region. Unless something really crazy happens, US will come out on top again and crush both Russia and China and also increase exports to Europe.
