1. Russia will be an international pariah – not that this would disturb its czar Putin – but China might want to have a word then.
2. The West will not turn around, it will keep on sending material to Ukraine, ESPECIALLY if Russia escalates again, probably even supplying Ukraine with other far-reaching means to fight. Maybe they will even make an example and hit hard themselves. Maybe even China might interfere.
It was Russia that attacked Ukraine. China's idea to relativate and compare chinese arms deliveries with those of the west and call it "the same" are untruthful. It is about Ethos.

"The Ukranians don't need to win militarily.
The Russians will collapse politically if they keep throwing bodies to the western weaponry that the Ukrainians are getting.
And from a cynical western point of view, having the russians consume their weapons and military personnel against Ukranians instead of NATO forces is a cold, but advantageous military strategy. With a weakened Russia, only China is a relatively competent adversary, and that is a huge IF."
