I would say that this is a huge setback for China’s position against America and its allies militarily speaking.

China is watching a vast military build-up among the countries opposing it and a more unified opposition, while Russia is being taken off the table as an ally that could effectively tie down forces in Europe for Red China.

China has certainly benefited, and when they expand north in the future (using the same argument Russia always uses, that the population is ethnically and historically tied to China), Russia will have little say. China will own Russia.

But there are some trends in global trade that China, with an already weakened economy, is concerned about. Like this one:

Mexico surpassed China as the top U.S. trading partner

Canada could soon push them to number 3. It seems possible some of the impact of the Trump negotiated United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement was hidden by COVID, but is now becoming apparent. This should be welcomed by the self proclaimed "anti-globalists", but some of them actually support China as a counter to the evil USA.
