We'll see I guess. "Big news" is often about China collapse. I like to look for "small news" that not many people pay attention but they show a bit different picture. Picture of China moving slowly and patiently in many directions to make sure collapse will not happen and that nobody (that is US) can stop China economy development.
It is worth to read about huge investments in many African countries and generous credits Chinese government is giving away. In fact, the only missing piece is a big oil producer that will agree to abandon trading oil in US dollars (Iran is a candidate, that's why US suddenly started pushing on sanctions against it.)
It is worth to read about new routes from China to Europe. Right now there is an operation train connection between China and Poland (Slawkow) that uses wide rail (https://euterminal.pl/en/). Another train connection like this will be available soon to Vienna.
A few days ago final agreement was made to built a highway that would connect China and Berlin.
Chinese investors own almost whole harbor in Piraeus, Greece.
And so on. For me it looks like a plan to be able to trade with Africa, Europe without risk that US can stop this somehow. I would not underestimate China, although, personally, I am not very happy about China expansion, as their political system is truly horrible and against human dignity as I perceive it.
