The only upside perhaps is that China loses 70% of its oil sources and that it may be hard to invade Taiwan as a result
That didn't stop Japan in 1941. Rather the opposite... they went after the country that was threatening their supply.

Which countries that are thriving do you think were not “liberated”? The US has done well, and King George III did not depart willingly.

While I guess that because of the international isolation the country might survive for a while without without international connectivity, they have reportedly shut down the local internet and phone networks as well, which also means payment cards and ATMs don't work.

The only upside perhaps is that China loses 70% of its oil sources and that it may be hard to invade Taiwan as a result of these energy shocks and reliance on Russia one that coupled with economic downturn will inevitably lead to similar chaos taking place in Iran.
