It’d almost be cute how China’s government is going to bat for Russia’s, if it weren’t so damn stupid.
But you know what they say: murderous authoritarian regimes of a feather flock together.
And China can’t help but flock to Russia’s defense:
China disapproves of the use of sanctions to solve problems, still less unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law. It has long been proved that sanctions, far from being a solution, will only create new problems.

Sanctions will not only cause a lose-lose or all-lose situation in economy, but also disrupt or impact on the political settlement process.

Liu is the current “Special Representative of the Chinese Government on Korean Peninsula Affairs,” but his résumé also includes his time as Ambassador to the DPRK. Yes, that DPRK. So.
Needless to say, Liu is free to push whatever propaganda he likes on behalf if Xi Jinping’s government. And we’re free to tell him where to stick his propaganda.

How are the Uyghurs?

We’d love to ask the Uyghurs about this. About a lot of things, in fact. When can we hear from them, Ambassador Liu?
"Unilateral Sanctions"
By which he means all of Europe, US, Canada, Japan and a host of othershttps://t.co/5FaPfDbHI4

What are your thoughts on unprovoked attacks against another country? I'll wait…

You should also disapprove of invading other countries as well.
But apparently you don't.
That's why there are sanctions.
Demand the immediate withdraw of all Russian and Belarusian troops out of Ukraine now— Kevin Scott Koepke (@KevinScottKoep1) February 28, 2022
China most definitely does not disapprove of invading other countries.
Imagine the sanctions the world will rain down on China when it moves on Taiwan. They will make the sanctions against Russia feel like a warm hug.

China’s flexing their muscles because they’re scared. And they should be.
Yes, Ambassador Liu. Please do that.
