Russia is incentivized to upset the current course of events by dramatic means. China will only risk so much escalation until they're in a dominant position. Russia must risk escalation to maintain any notable position at all.

This seems right. Russia is by far the weakest of the three great powers and requires notable statesmanship to even be viable.

They question is whether the US maintaining hegemony is default or not. If the default is Chinese supremacy, in the long run Russia and the US will want to balance out Chinese.

Or to restate: The answer depends on the time window in question. Short term security concerns Russia. Long-term strategic concerns China.
