China just signed an oil deal with Saudi in Yuan a couple years back. It’s what mitigated the financial damage that this war has caused.
Now that the terms of engagement has expanded to targeting oil infrastructure, it would render this mitigation null and void.

Vetoing would polarize Saudi towards the US.
