I personally know 8 GS/1Ks. They all travel heavily to China.
Under the new qualification, possibly 3 might barely make 1K in 2020.
With the current virus crisis, their employers have suspended all China travel indefinitely.
This will also affect Japan, Korea etc. as well.
I think only 1 of them will qualify for 1K. Even that is not a given. Without enough OPM, $24,000 is a lot to spend.
