War in Ukraine?

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.

Interesting article I read last night from Foreign Policy and that discusses China's relationship with Russia in the scope of Ukraine. I think it is pretty relevant to what we are talking about in this thread:

Beijing and Moscow Part Ways Over Ukraine

Edit:

I disagree that China needs to go out of their way to "show their dominance towards western influence." China has already been doing a lot of things that directly contrast with western influence/policies (such as their expansion of their air defense zone and claiming numerous islands in the South China Sea). Not to mention their decision to side with Russia against the Western initiative to disarm and punish Syria after their use of chemical weapons.
