All responses from all countries however well intentioned, are to Putin, like peeing on an inferno. No real impact in the short to medium term. By the time these sanctions scratch the surface, Ukraine will be a puppet state, run by a puppet regime.
Now, if China were to put a big squeeze on from the other side, that along with the squeeze from the west, would severely pinch the people of Russia (sadly), and happily make them protest in ever greater numbers. The only thing Putin will listen to, is overwhelming protest from within his own borders.
