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.
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.
