China have mBridge, CIPS and numerous shadow banking channels. Regaining control of Hong Kong really opened up the possibilities- Hong Kong being the portal via which Britain originally gained trade payments access to Chinese markets back in The Opium Wars era and since. China understands the importance of banking channels and how they run parallel to military structures. China is building both determined not to be subject to US sanctions and leverage. If they adopted Bitcoin it would be a lot easier for other nations to accept that China is not building its own monetary hegemony to replace that of the US.

The only story I know about China mining in the US was in Wyoming a Chinese owned farm was raising concerns because it was next to an Air Force base.
There is definitely a race to develop a digital payment system, and I know that the US is on a path to a stablecoin for their system. I have not looked into what has been going on in China with their payments system, but I realize now that I probably should have.
I agree with you that China should consider Bitcoin as a neutral settlement system. I think every country should consider it.
