Has China actually recognized it or is it more a case of refusing to condemn it or insisting on taking a position contrary to the US'[s]?

What? Does the aid received from the US and EU not count?
$2.1B from the US alone since 2022 plus sanctions on Russia and Belarus.

Pretty clear recognition to me. In fact 143 nations voted to condemn Russia calling what they did "illegal".
