There'll probably get it back up. Not the first time this has happened. But even if they don't, it's successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, will be up there in a few months.

"The Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST), which is set to launch in 2024, will operate as a space optical observatory for Chinese scientists to carry out sky surveys, according to Xinhua.The telescope, sometimes called "Xuntian," which literally translates to "survey the heavens," will have an impressive 6.6-foot (2 meters) diameter lens, making it comparable to the Hubble Space Telescope. However, it boasts a field of view 300 times greater than that of 31-year-old Hubble while retaining a similar resolution."

Reading the rest of the article for now it seems the Chinese space station will be used to monitor and repair the telescope.
The Hubble launched thirty years ago so it was about time for China to get their version of Hubble up and going.
