Ukraine was never going to swing back towards Russias sphere of influence, which was unacceptable for Putin and United Russia, China on the other hand is fine with the status quo with Taiwan, as long as the KMT or TPP are in power. Cross strait relations have improved somewhat since the DPP lost their majority, which is a clear signal that if Taiwan kicks out the DPP in 2028, the PRC will be happy to return to the pre-2016 consensus. This is all something you'd know if you actually knew anything about Chinese, and Taiwanese politics.
On top of this, the Ukrainian military had went through 8 years of rearming itself, had a motivated population, a strong industrial base, and a shitload of surplus soviet equipment to work with. the RoC military has only degraded in recent years.
