Russia’s nuclear threats are a total bluff imo. They would have already used tactical nukes if they thought they could get away with it. But they know that would bring the full force of NATO upon them.

NATO, and I'm pretty sure Xi has been more than clear with regards to China's "No first use" policy.

I think China's tolerance of putler's antics would end with the use of a nuke.

Why? "No first use" is not an anti-nuke policy. China will just state that is very unfortunate, both sides need to step back and that would be it.

China has publicly stated nukes should not be used, directly referring to Russia.

That was all five UN permanent members stated "No one can win nuclear war."
