76% of the artillery, be active or stock... Those are not rookie numbers anymore. They probably have to transport "fresh" tubes over 1000s of kilometres distance to the front.
China knows the ruzzkis are weakening their eastern border daily. No wonder they keep "supporting" them. One day Chinese army will walk in without a single shot fired.
I suspect the storage facilities are close to being completed emptied of working or easily fixable pieces and all that's left is scrap/spare part pieces.
They may be receiving, or could receive in the future, artillery pieces from allies (ex. NK) that could change their ability to keep up losses.
Regarding China, I don't think China would militarily invade a stable Russia (not civil wared). I think it's more likely they will economically dominate them, with the implicit threat of militarily/covert action if Russia tries and recover their economic sovereignty in those dominated regions.
