Why isn't China criticized for not condemming Russia?

What is China's position? It hasn't really been reported much in the US media. China wants to be a major player in the world community. It is the second largest economy in the world. Maybe China is ok with redrawing other countries' bounaries with military force like in the "good old days". Why does China get a free pass on all this? If they joined in on the economic and diplomatic pressure againt Russia it would go a long way toward resolving this peacefully and also preserving the legitimate sovereignty of Ukraine. Or are their thoughts more about Taiwan?

Am I just being a Karen again? Sorry.

Unfortunately, throughout history, few world powers had or have a problem with 'redrawing boundaries'. They only cared (care) that the redrawn boundaries favor their own interests.

@Mamapolo2016 Thank you for your thoughtful response. Is all the posturing on the Russia threat purely about the self interest of NATO countries? I guess it might be, but I would like to think that lots of ordinary people like us are thinking about moral considerations and that, in the west, the people vote for their leaders. The leaders should be responsive to their voters. If China wants to be part of peace and global prosperity, shouldn't they step up to the plate here? If they don't want to, then we should call them out on it.
