I have no favourite governments- this is a repetitive and absurd assertion you repeat ad nauseam.
It is true that Chinas economy is demonstrably more competitive productive and profitable than USA but that is not favouritism on my part but simple factual observation.
Bitcoin has utility as the petrodollar declines as it provides a neutral SoV and MoE outside of any super powers dominance and control.
Trump and his cronies will use crypto to stash their wealth while leaving most US citizens with worthless USDs.
Britains second empire doco is recommended viewing for you to understand this.

Yeah no it's not. This is bias in favor of the communist regime and completely out of touch with reality. Unfortunately the only way to definitely prove that capitalism is a better system is with a war. Since you won't listen to reason, this is the only way to make the productive and moral advantages undeniable.

Citizens bear a personal responsibility to acquire Bitcoin to preserve their own wealth. The government's role is to defend international trade from communist meddling, not to dictate everyone's investment decisions, and if people think loaning money to the government at 4% interest is a good idea, that's a problem they've caused for themselves. The government doesn't force anyone to buy bonds. Taxation to pay back the bonds would be coercive, but Trump is lowering taxes.

It's really impossible to explain to you because in your insane "mixed economy" worldview, the government is robbing from most citizens by not stealing enough from the rich ones. No, taxation itself is the robbery. Poverty isn't caused by the government not giving the poor enough money. It's caused by government interference in market calculations.

You don't fix poverty by taking from the rich and giving to the poor. That increases poverty. If you don't see this then I can't make you see it. The most I can do is prevent whatever culture that is from spreading into my territory.

But of course you're not interested in economic systems anyway. You just want to stick it to the evil West somehow. So I refer you again to the numbers on Iran, in which the Iranian government is currently killing more Iranians than the US government. This is winning to you? You're letting your supposed allies and neighbors die in exchange for a favorable article in the Guardian. You're losing the war, and the longer you go on without surrendering the more you will lose.

Chinas trade surplus exceeding $1 Trillion compared to USAs chronic trade and fiscal deficits and total debt of $40 Trillion.
China is more productive and successful in the global economy and USA is the loser - jealous, broke and scared.
USA cannot make more Interceptors unless Chairman Xi ends his embargo on refined rare earths.
Petrodollar Empire is collapsing under TACO Trumps crony capitalist incompetence.

But the communist party isn't competing with the USA's economic productivity. They're competing with the entire world's free market, including their own, over the authority to torture and kill their own civilians for religious reasons.

Yes, of course mainland China can beat the United States at manufacturing, but that's not the game being played. We know what kind of regime this is, and their actual objectives are much easier to thwart than a purely economic competition. Like Iran, they waste way too much energy on attacking their own civilians to be fighting naval battles.

I fully expect the ROC to be a richer country than the US within some 50 years after the war and that's okay. "Hegemony" and imperialism were your made-up projections about what the US wants. We don't care if someone else is richer than us. That's the basis of our entire economic system and way of life. What triggered the war was not the possibility of China becoming richer than America. The problem was the communists' inability to back off from attacking US sovereignty, Christendom, and our allies China and Japan. The PRC exports communism abroad and interfered in our internal affairs.

This is utter nonsense.
USA maintains its global petrodollar hegemony via alignment with some of the worst despots and autocracies. As long as you will support the US and its oil companies, military exports and petrodollar Uncle Sam does not give a fuck about you murdering journalists, activists or anyone of your citizens.

No, USA is scared and threatened and beaten by China because China is bigger and stronger and does not kow tow to US imperialist dictates. China buys oil from Iran despite unilateral US sanctions becasue USA cannot afford to sanction China.

USA needs China and the refined rare earths and other supply chains that China now dominates globally.

You mean Taiwan and Japan. That's what "despotic autocracy" means to you, apparently. Your issue is not actually with Indonesia and Chile. You're using that as an excuse. There's plenty more examples of communist massacres I can use as an excuse also.

But yeah, it is indeed okay to kill PRC citizens because it's a war that they started. If they can have support from the Soviets then it's only fair that the ROC has support from the US. If you don't like it come kill me. We're doing this. We're playing the collectivist game now. No more individualism, it's just red vs blue now.

You always have to reach for 20th century edge cases that didn't involve Trump. I can pull up the PRC's written domestic law right now and show you where it says individual rights can be trampled by the government any time for any reason. Moreover, between the supporters of these respective regimes, one side is clearly worse than the other and has a worse vision for how society should operate.

Scoreboard. Look at the Iran war casualties. The IRGC is killing more Iranians than the US. Chávez destroyed Venezuela, not the US. Communists harm themselves too much to engage with an external force.
