Trump is not abandoning Taiwan. The whole point of blockading Iran is to prepare for a preemptive full-scale invasion of the PRC so the question is resolved by the end of his term.
You can get a lot of people to give a positive opinion about "China" on a survey. Everyone loves China. That's not the issue. The question is how many people are willing to die for the communist party, and I'll bet that demographic represents less than half the world's military spending.
Boycott Bitcoin if you don't want to fund USA's war crimes.
Trump is not abandoning Taiwan.
Hmmm... Lets see shall we - in 14 days when Trump goes to beg Xi for refined rare earths...and Trump has still failed to open the Strait of Hormuz..and USA has no Interceptors left.
Xi will say 'Sorry loser, can't help you...you lost your Iran war now stop being a puppet to Zionist war criminals.'
If Trump is not abandoning Taiwan why is he desperately reshoring chip production?
Chinese tradition of 'eating bitter' is unknown to the modern decadent westerner.
Bitcoin is my way of avoiding Zionist usury...works just fine for me.
Sadly USA is owned by the Zionist Greater Israel Extremists who own the Fed Res.

You think producing chips in the US is in preparation for not importing them from Taiwan? You don't understand this country at all. It's a war. Chips are a weapon. Of course we're going to build as many chips as humanly possible.

You talk about the US getting poorer. There's only two reasons: looters and moochers. Half the country are pro-PRC pro-socialism welfare cheats and fraudsters. Same for "Western" "allies." And of course there's the PRC itself, which is the whole reason we have to fund a military. So our entire tax base is spent on dealing with you people. We tolerate it because we don't want to kill you, but you're so insufferable and it's gotten so expensive that we can't deal with it anymore. We've been eating 苦. Our 苦 looks like luxury to you because you have no idea what real capitalism looks like. And now that the pro-PRC parties have lost three elections in a row we have a mandate to get rid of you.
Remember when Trump said he would sort out Russia-Ukraine in 24 hours?
China is more determined than late empire USA.
So is Iran.
And Russia.
As CB correctly points out the west is chokka with parasitic entitled looters and moochers.
The west is not united or determined but a divided and decadent shadow of ts former self.
Yes it is tragic, but we have to deal with reality.
It will not be fixed by some delusional MAGA sloganeering TACO despot who is owned by Greater Israel Zionists.
We don't want "unity." We're trying to purge the parasitic elements of ourselves. The PRC did the opposite by cutting out the best of their country and elevating the looters and moochers to a tenured position in an overbearing state.
Remember when Trump said he would sort out Russia-Ukraine in 24 hours?
In the big picture, it is sorted. There's twenty other wars that would be going on right now if it weren't for Trump.

And yeah, of course trading with the US is working out for you.
Bitcoin is as Western as it gets. It was invented by a Brit, adopted by Americans as a conspiracy to overthrow the governmemt, and coopted by the Trump administration as a weapon against communism. If you were serious about collectivism you would donate your wealth to the PRC by holding their equities or their currency, instead of the currency they banned, but everyone submits to capitalism when it's their own life at stake.
You chronically exaggerate and thus misrepresent my stance.
I am a neutral observer in the power struggle between US and China.
Love free enterprise but also understand that governments play a crucial role in determining the wealth and security of nations.
Rentseeking Zionist bankers have captured the wests governments and undermined our democracies.
China is free of that disease and has won the trade war in part because of it.
Yes Bitcoin epitomizes the individualism and values of late empire western civilisation and looked like a healthy antidote to the parasitic Zionist bankers but Bitcoin is not a cure all and has anyway been largely captured and contained by the Zionist usurers and corporate lobbyists who own Trump and the west.
The British Empire lost global monetary hegemony when the Zionist bankers refused to support its Suez Canal recapture efforts.
The Zionist bankers can see that US empire is near its end and so now want to build their own regional Greater Israel hegemony and security as China rises and refuses to be their puppet.
Bitcoin may provide some limited insulation from this developing transition but it does not change the overall dynamics.

You're not neutral. Buying Bitcoin means you're on our side. You're betting money on the American Revolution. You're invested in the separation of economy and state.

They play a role in destroying it. The PRC's government crippled the country's economy and positioned the mainland to have its destiny carved up and hollowed out by foreign powers and a minority who recognized that the nation and the state are two separate things. The more wealth the state takes, the less wealth is owned by the nation. The communists did not provide security or prosperity. Not sure why you believe them.

It might not have, were it not for the PRC's rejection of Bitcoin and the USA's embrace of it. Again, the US plus MSTR is about 5 times as much BTC as is owned by the PRC. Unless they come to their senses soon, which it doesn't look like they will, the new monetary order will be dominated by the US.
Bitcoin is the money. The petroyuan isn't happening.
Taiwanese look across at China and see much greater wealth creation and opportunity than they experience in their Taiwan US empire tribute state slavery.
They see Trump abandoning them- reshoring the microchip production and Trump betraying their trust and loyalty, just like all other US tribute states who want nothing to do with the rogue state global bully and complicity to Greater Israel war crimes that USA has become.
Most people want peaceful trade, development and prosperity and China now appears to offer that much more than USA does.
