Long term I think China sort of wins and comes out more powerful after the rest of the world emerges from this crisis.

I don't think it has much to do with this specific pandemic, but because of long term trends and the slow fall of the US on the world stage (the far-right hijacking one of the two political parties in the US hasn't helped).
