China's government will fall. There will be a new president.
According to CNBC, U.S. made an announcement to sanction 6 Chinese areospace companies after shooting down what is suspected to be a Chinese spy balloon. Those companies are identified as supporting the spy program in China.
“The PRC’s use of high-altitude balloons violates our sovereignty and threatens U.S. national security,” said Alan Estevez, undersecretary of commerce for industry and security, using the acronym for the People’s Republic of China.
“Today’s action makes clear that entities that seek to harm U.S. national security and sovereignty will be cut off from accessing U.S. technologies,” Estevez said in a statement from the Commerce Department.

British MPs accused HSBC for "Doing dirty works" for Beijing. An all-party parliamentary report was released accusing the London based bank supporting an anti-democracy law imposed by Beijing in Hong Kong. The report also mentioned that the bank kowtowed to Beijing to secure its profit.
The parliamentary group found HSBC has helped Beijing to isolate Hong Kongers who turned to the British Government for safety and assistance.
Those who immigrated to UK through BNO visa also cannot withdraw their money from Mandatory Provident Funds (MPFs).

China, I see you and all your disgusting plans to take over the United States for world dominance for you to finally have what you want which is total control. I, the Lord, have said enough is enough. China, you will never have My America, My United States. To everyone that worked with you, that was a part of this government and helped you, not only am I taking out China, but also every single person who sold out My nation to China for financial gain, power or stability. China you had no idea that while you infiltrated Me and My nation, I had infiltrated yours. My hand is about to move to bring your government and your nation to its knees. You will never completely regain your finances or power again. You will struggle like Egypt struggles, to this day, to stay afloat. I am stripping you of the money and power you used to manipulate, blackmail and hold my nation hostage. You will be stripped of anything you had that belongs to the United States or to My other nation, Israel.
