The issue is moot since nowadays local practices are accepted to a degree. Even if Rome decided to go back on that it would have little practical relevance nowadays since there are lots of branches of Christianity that are not in communion with Rome and who are perfectly fine with that.

It's significant because it effectively lost them their biggest market.

It's significant to the Church, but less so for Chinese authorities, who could always decide to establish their own state Church.
