I don't know, the American Empire basically exists to serve billionaires like him, I don't see how a Chinese takeover would serve them, as they just disappear billionaires if they don't get in line.
I guess they just want to turn the USA into what Russia is now, but even there you really don't want to get on Putin's bad side or you lose everything. It's honestly very irrational IMHO, as the US has the right mix of opportunity and lack of any personal risk for the wealthy. They want to turn the US into a crime ridden shithole where they're beholden to the whims of Trump or whomever follows him.
Each of them personally wants to be Putin and cannot comprehend the idea that they won't be at the top of the pile when the ashes fall.
