If tiongkok join the pact, this will balance the world power and there will be no war. With tiongkok and Russia together, thats two superpowers against one US superpower. 
I believe more countries like Iran, Cambodia, Syria, etc. will also join this pact signalling the formation of an Eastern NATO block.   

Ukraine oredy attacking Russian interior, if no peace is brokered after Trump takes office expect more to come. N k everyday fire missiles  over nippon and sk, sometimes actually dropping a few in their territory-- beri high chance stir trouble. Tiongkok now enjoying heavy trades with amdk countires inspite of higher tariffs. All dis peace and prosperity will break up once war erupts with their new eastern NATO allies.. Best to play middleman and de-escalate  instead of getting dragged in.
