They really couldn't, China is involved as much as it is going to be for now, besides it isn't as if China has proven it knows how to fight any better than russia.

What will happen is China will take an active role by buying up most of russia in a liquidation/fire sale situation as russia crumbles.

The only thing Putin can do to retain power is make deals with China to betray russians and sell of assets quietly to Chinese control in exchange for China shoring up Putin's strength against domestic political threats.

This process may already be quite far advanced, I don't know, but is inevitable as Putin faceplants more and more.
