One China Confirmed
Well, I do feel Anta and Li-Ning are on a level above. Xi was spotted sporting an Arc'Teryx jacket at the Olympics. Salty tears subsequently flowed (just google it to see).
361 and Peak both signed like marginal NBA players. There are very few Tier-1 stars signed with anyone other than Nike, basically just Kawhi Leonard with New Balance (because he is a weird guy), and Steph Curry with Under Armor.
Peak signed Andrew Wiggins, who up until last year was probably less accomplished than his own mother.
(She won 4 silver medals in the LA Olympics, had a 30 year record as the fastest Canadian woman and resultantly had a park named after her in her (and his) hometown, a suburb of Toronto)
If they are not able to find success on their own terms, then they could try to hook up with Adidas if there is an opportunity. However, you did originally mention Anta, who I find is doing well on its own.
You are right that they can find alternative sports to try to build up their brand as well.
Ukraine and Taiwan - friends forever! In Russian forums they called it "Suicide Club".
Everyone trying to copy China these days
American's have gone full-tard with trying to cancel tik-tok. FB and Twitter which both caused huge civil unrest/voting issues in the US is worst than the tok which had no real connection with any conspiracies the past 4 years. I guess the only positive point is that it will enlighten a few of the younger generation that the US is also somewhat Authoritarian and advocates for censoring / propaganda too.

No we know why comrade Boris refused to return as PM
After the azov battalion in HK shenanigans and now open support for secessionists, remind me why China isn't directly supporting Russia?
Think there's more reasons for why China continue to remain neutral.
Although stunt as these can end up pushing China, or directly be used as an excuse for possible or future support of Russia if needed.
While Musk owning Twitter will only cause the re-proliferation of nazis and racists of all stripes, it won't be boring, that's for sure
The CIA-adjacent hippie is at it again

The simplest and most significant reason is Europe has a lot of trade+investments in China and China has a lot of trade+investments in Europe. A rapid decoupling with asset seizures and sanctions will be extremely damaging to both economies with the costs outweighing the benefits by orders of magnitude.
Be friends with everyone you can so you can do business with everyone, because at the end, economic strength reinforces political and military strength.
