They would gain the only port in the region that doesn’t freeze over, and untapped oil and gas resources that could be in the top 10-15 in the world.
How you’d go about actually doing anything with that when you’re occupying a country where the vast majority of its citizens don’t want you there, I’m not sure.
Also when China is your only customer, I’m not so sure how well that works. Although Russia has influence in Africa etc. if you don’t have those first world trading partners, how far does it get you
