LOL, why is that article dated Jan 2022? More fakery from Western media?
They've been going through the Kubler-Ross stages for a while now, it's just that individual journalists go through them at different paces. Eventually they will all land on the same final stage.
US launches trade war against China and blocks some exports because China does not have US best interests in mind - Fighting for freedom
China takes sanctions actions against Lithuania for acting in a manner that does not have China’s best interests in mind - Hypocrisy

"An optimal—although still unlikely—outcome would be for Xi to engage in a series of internal ongoing and implicit tradeoffs: claim regional economic leadership but step back from military aggression in the region, take pride in arresting the spread of COVID-19 but acknowledge the weakness of Chinese vaccine innovation, trumpet success in eliminating terrorist attacks in Xinjiang but begin the process of releasing the “reeducated” Uyghur Muslims from the labor camps. This would enable Xi to maintain a narrative of success in advancing Chinese centrality while nonetheless responding to the most significant concerns of the international community"
You make it sound like doing so would be painless for those countries and it'll only be China that's going to suffer.

Manufacturing, resources, and food.
If China knows what's good for them then they should start hording the latter asap.
