UPDATE 2-U.N. body, in rare move, rejects debate on China's treatment of Uyghur Muslims
news.yahoo.com
The U.N. rights council on Thursday rejected a Western-led motion to hold a debate about alleged human rights abuses in China's Xinjiang region after a U.N. report found possible crimes against humanity against Uyghurs and other Muslims. The U.N. rights office on Aug. 31 released a long-delayed report that found serious human rights violations had been committed in Xinjiang, in a move that has increased pressure on China.

      China has been trying to maintain good relations with Ukraine, even throughout the war. A recent statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC: https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/zxxx_662805/202209/t20220924_10770931.html

      Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba after meeting China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi:

      My counterpart reaffirmed China’s respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as its rejection of the use of force as a means of resolving differences

      According to Zelensky back in May regarding the war:

      China has chosen the policy of staying away. At the moment, Ukraine is satisfied with this policy. It is better than helping the Russian Federation in any case. And I want to believe that China will not pursue another policy. We are satisfied with this status quo, to be honest

      China has also been Ukraine's top trading partner and largest recipient of Ukrainian weapons in recent years. Ukraine was second only to Russia as an arms exporter to China. Before the war, Ukraine was China's top corn supplier and China was also the top importer of Ukrainian iron ore, barley, vegetable oils, and jet turbine engines.

      Ukraine joined the BRI and was expected to become a key partner. China still has large infrastructure projects underway in Ukraine. Zelensky said that he hoped that Ukraine would become “a bridge to Europe for Chinese business.”
