It's because China can't stop Vietnam from doing so or can't afford to. Vietnam gets most of its weapons from Russia. China nerds Russia not just for strategic reasons but also because Russia's has been China's biggest arms supplier this past decades as well. So Chiba was in no position to stop Russia. Moreover Russian weapons sold to Vietnam had no real Chinese major component in them to even warrant a Chinese objection in the first place.China didn't stop Vietnam buy weapons as long as not atomic or chemical weapons
So China couldn't stop Russia even if they wanted to.
