I think you are thinking of what we consider the war in Vietnam.
China backed north Vietnam and didn't move into the country. However, they were the stage of counter-attack against the US forces.
Provided arms, tactics, and intelligence. But didn't want to overtly go against the US.

So.. if you are thinking in terms of this battle, Romania or Poland will be that spot for Ukraine as they fight Russia.

No, he’s referring to the late 70s war between China and Vietnam. (Vietnam was Soviet-aligned, and China wanted them Sino-aligned, so they invaded to install their own puppet.)

China invaded Vietnam in 1979 in an attempt to get them to withdraw from Cambodia. They drove to Hanoi, and then withdrew. Vietnam kept occupying Cambodian anyway.
