I think you meant EU when saying "Europe".
Seems serious if true. Xi better have gotten major concessions from Putin since this is going to destroy China's relations with Europe.
EU has been destroying relationship with China long before the Ukraine-Russian conflict. So relationship with EU has less and less meaning in the consideration of Chinese leadership. It's hopeless anyway.
On the other hand China is more and more treating EU countries individually while ignoring EU as a whole. That is why the head of EU has to force her way in the meeting of Xi's state visit to France to make EU relevant to China. This act of desperately seeking recognition means that EU has to suck up whatever China dumps.
