I wonder how this will play out in the eyes of the European public if they continue to re-establish and develop ties?

China is not, per its non-interference policy, going to do anything to halt Europe's descent into fascism. Not on the government policy level, anyway. But if the agreements they start making include an end to the promotion of Sinophobia, people having a unfiltered view of the quality of life in China might have a significant effect on European attitudes.
