Correct me if I'm wrong. China acts in a way that's coherent with an interest in de-escalating the conflict. Which is a rational position, why would China risk nuclear war?

But on r/TankieTheDeprogram some folks are like, China bad, China doesn't do enough, where are the Chinese missiles???

Yeah... Let's try to avoid a nuclear winter for now.

Pretty much yeah, China is obviously not looking for a direct confrontation with the US here. The same way, the US is not looking for a direct confrontation with Russia in Ukraine incidentally. I don't see anybody claiming that the US isn't helping Ukraine because they haven't put boots on the ground.
