> China is not allied with Russia
They don't have a mutual defense treaty, sure, but they describe themselves as having a “friendship without limits”. I would agree that China has no interest in getting involved in Putin's idiot war in Ukraine though, and there's zero benefit to China in antagonizing Europe.
They do have an alliance: https://www.cfr.org/article/china-russia-and-ukraine-october...
What the words are worth in a time of need remains to be seen. Neither side is exactly trustworthy :)
