So now that China has had a truly major failure attached to its reputation, how does that affect the future of its superpower aspirations? (I think it’s still well short of the USSR at its peak, so it’s like a superpower-lite aspirant right now)

China... kinda rules the world already. I don't see why their aspirations woudl be slowed down.

I think their industrial base advantage can be unraveled really rapidly with robotics

Million times worse... Chernobyl was local, and the US had 3-mile island so hardly in a position to criticize strongly

Perhaps a major failure in being the origin of the outbreak, but a major success in containment and control of it. If anything, they’re going to return to productivity months before the western world and have more of a chance to surpass other countries as a superpower of the 20s

They’re going to get heavily blamed for that too. They took care of their own needs but delayed containing international spread and alerting the world.
