Few things;
China is kind of in an awkward position. They naturally do not like to get involved with things like this, their foreign policy is to stay out of it lol. The problem is Ukraine is their greatest source of of food. In fact Ukraine has a 3 billion dollar debt to china which they pay back in corn.
Considering China's dilemma with population, I can see that their priority would be these food outlets over actual money. In addition too, securing Moscows political stance does two things, stands up to show their dominance towards western influence, kind of standing up to what they consider a bully, and ensures their current arrangement/interests with Ukraine.
