    China would be coordinating this with EU forces

    China’s is a the most important supporter of Russia in the war against Ukraine, Chinese companies are already actively investing in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, China’s envoy for Europe openly said that former Soviet states have no independent legal status, just to name some examples. These things don’t make China a good ally for Europeans.

    (In the meantime, China rejected reports it will deploying a contingent to Ukraine as far as I read. But it wouldn’t a good idea for Europe imho.)
