China doesn't support "recogniziation of independence separatist states" because what if separatists in Xinjiang/Taiwan/Tibet declare independence, I bet you will say you oppose that. But with separatists in Ukraine, it's fine because "US BAD" , that isn't any different from US supporting Xinjiang independence because "CHINA BAD". What's up with the double standards.
and do you have an official statement from Chinese officials that supports and says this is fine. Last I checked, China was supporting Russia over NATO.

Unfortunately, double-standards is realpolitik!

China won't (publically) support the independence. In the UN it will most likely abstain (as it did with Crimea).

That's standard Chinese diplomatic practise.
Now if you are asking about helping Russia in case of sanctions then yes, it will do so but behind the scenes

Because I don't believe in general principles in international affairs, and I like celebrating a friend's triumph and an enemy's humiliation. International law is meaningless - the only relevant question is whether a state has the power to protect and advance its interests. This isn't the first time I'm saying this, so I'd appreciate it if you could finally understand the concept.

The only law is the law of the jungle, and it has never been otherwise.
Heavy military units are being moved from Kiev to Kharkiv by road by the Ukrainian military.
