It'll be interesting to see what the ChiComs do next in response.

That's easy to predict. The Chinese will befriend India. China won't be another Soviet Union. China will try to befriend every country through various means (primarily economic and manipulation of internal politics).

They won't allow the US to pivot India against China. Watch India-China trade skyrocket in coming years.
