Back in 2017 they were working on a Shahed 136-style GEV drone for recon and strike missions: https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a26382/china-sea-skimming-anti-ship-drone/

Wait ain't this one of the reasons a Russian got charged for handing top secert stuff to China?
He basically handed research and techincal documents reguarding ekranoplanes over to China.

Correct.
The Chinese, even now, have an extreme interest in ekranoplanes. The intel "leak" by the NYT a few weeks ago of security threats the Russian FSB was dealing with internally included China, and more specifically the chinese hunting for anybody with any relation to the Soviet ekranoplane project.
