With the structural basis of China’s grand strategy immensely destabilized by the consequences of that conflict with respect to the Golden Billion’s artificially manufactured food and fuel crises across the Global South risking profound socio-political unrest there across the coming future that threatens BRI’s prospects, paired with India and Russia’s newly strengthened strategic autonomy as well as Moscow’s increasingly indispensable security-stabilization role in developing countries that complements its newfound soft power (revolutionary) one, Beijing’s superpower trajectory arguably appears untenable.
Not for nothing did Putin use the phrase, "Empire of Chaos" for the US led Western hegemony. The Chinese "Superpower" phase if accomplished would be the most benign superpower in history; of note is that the Ming Dynasty's imperial dominance over Asia was non-military alliances of trade, cultural exchange, and mutual benefit.
A fine analysis; since February, I have also questioned the claim that Russia is a junior partner to China. Your reasoning is very good. Thank you! BTW - Turkey really baffles me. What is your explanation?
The resolves of 1.4 B intelligent and determined people cannot be thwarted as history has repeatedly shown. So it is with the spirit of the Russian people. They are people you cannot thwart in their way forward.

It is too late now.
China is fully entrenched in the Global South.
Many nations cannot go forward without China.
