In 2013, China pledged to defend Ukraine in the event of a nuclear attack

On 4 December 1994, Ukraine announced that it would renounce all nuclear weapons. The UN P5 made two commitments to Ukraine together.

First, if Ukraine becomes a non nuclear country, P5 will not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine.

Second, if Ukraine becomes a non nuclear country, P5 will provide security guarantees to Ukraine when it is attacked by nuclear weapons in the future.



Two points need to be made clear here:
First, all commitments are based on the premise that Ukraine does not possess nuclear weapons.
Second, P5 did not explain whether "security assurance" meant nuclear counterattack.

As Yankies say. Might makes right. Ukraine is a threat to China. So China will make Ukrainians lives miserable.
