China is talking about invading Ukraine on behalf of Russia. China and Russia both have a hand in destabilizing the USA, and they've had joint naval and military exercises for decades now. China isn't "worried."
They're not officially allies but they're more allied than any two dictatorships have ever been.
They're trying to force a Ukrainian surrender with lots of concessions. The Chinese peacekeepers would basically be occupying the border sort of like an Eastern NATO as a method of dissuading Ukraine joining the Actual NATO or possibly even EU.
China's is a the most important supporter of Russia in the war against Ukraine, Chinese companies are already actively investing in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, China's envoy for Europe openly said that former Soviet states have no independent legal status, just to name some examples. These things don't make China a good ally for Europeans.
(In the meantime, China rejected reports it will deploying a contingent to Ukraine as far as I read. But it wouldn't a good idea for Europe imho.)
