China is primarily after the money, because thousands of Chinese drones are also used by Ukraine, the small FPV ones.
I don't think so. China has not been shy in setting paralels between Ukraine and Taiwan, and how they are using not only to position political pieces but also to develop military tactics based on what western weapons are deployed in Ukraine.
Western MSM try to spin it as "China" formally assisting RU, but it's just PRC not inhibiting commercial activities even if it fuels RU war machine, because PRC producers aren't going to not profit when everyone else is. Especially if RU was paying comical 200k-300k for for a 10k drone made in Iran that PRC can probably make for 5k. TBH this reads as a company much less sophisticated than DJI getting into the much more technologically accessible ghetto drone powered by moped category. They probably planned to sell a bunch of non-lethal airframes, which RU would then fit with warheads because realistically the only use for a 8ft prop drone with 2000km range is to bomb stuff. Much harder to argue for dual use unlike machine tools or small DJI drones. Along with company selling range of optics, which they can at least dodge by saying it was for sports hunting / recreational / civlian use. But no one hunts deer with a 2000km loitering munition.
If PRC/PLA wanted to help RU, they'd just send over formally inducted PLA hardware/suprlus from official MIC manufacturers, which they would probably love to have validated on the battlefield.
