The Golden Dome is a major destabilizing factor against attempts at maintaining the balance of power between nuclear superpowers through nuclear deterrence, which has been working for many decades. The US is basically trying to upset and alter the nuclear status quo between the US and China (+ Russia). The cascading effects from a successfully completed Golden Dome (should it not fall victim to Pentagon + MIC grift and corruption) will not be light.
What's worse, having the ability to destroy the opposing side's strategic missile launchers before their missiles could even be launched is basically equivalent to neutralizing the most fundamental forms of nuclear deterrence available to the opposing side.
In response, China must expand her nuclear arsenal, strategic missiles, anti-missile and space-weaponization development efforts coupled with developing similar countermeasures to the Golden Dome. This is in order to return the balance to a state of mutual vulnerability, i.e. a balance of hard power.
In addition, Beijing will certainly become more aggressive in any arms control talks with DC in the future, alongside potentially having more aggressive and steadfast posturing elsewhere, whether that be political or military. This isn't going to be pretty - Though I seriously doubt anyone in DC can actually comprehend that.
And remember - The US is the one who started it.
