Does this make it likely that the Chinese will completely defeat the Japanese on their soil? How bad is this going to hurt your opponent's overall ambitions (aka: is this as bad as losing the KB)?

That's a really good question. The complete lack of serious forces protecting Canton/Hong Kong was shocking. It means my victorious armies get to move northeast and start throwing them out of the Shanghai area. Plus my supply shortages aren't going to be nearly as bad. How far can we go? Not sure. But it feels like I already have a bit more than them there, so once those armies from Hong Kong get there, I should have some momentum. I'm fairly sure I can take Wenchow in a couple weeks, however long it takes to reorganize and redeploy. Actually taking Shanghai itself would be amazing. It seems possible.
As bad as losing the KB? No. That could shift momentum anywhere/everywhere.
