President Xi, during a visit from Scholz and around 10 German CEOs, came out over the weekend with a statement opposing the international community using nuclear weapons or the threat of nuclear weapons. I imagine in private, Putin has already heard this from Xi himself, but it's good to see this publicly too.
Quote:

The international community, said Xi,#should “jointly oppose the use of, or threats to use, nuclear weapons,” according to a statement carried by Xinhua, China’s state news agency.#The world should also#“advocate that nuclear weapons cannot be used, a nuclear war cannot be waged, in order to prevent a nuclear crisis”#in Europe or Asia, Xi added.#

Olaf Scholz also wrote an opinion piece in Politico where he mentioned Germany does not wish to decouple from China, which won't go over well with Murica.
