I don’t see much sign of Chinese involvement ( other than that they have a vested interest in supporting Ethiopia) or much hope that the current impasse will be resolved anytime soon.

Insofar as they have any influence over Egypt and Sudan, neither US nor EU will want hostilities erupting in the region....and Ethiopia is banking on this.
