Would it not be more logical that US billionaires simply switch sides and move to China? I am not convinced that Americans are as patriotic as they claim and willing to go down with the ship.
You are already seeing signs of this in Taiwan.
In some sense that's happening. A Reichsfluchtsteuer of some kind is happening where wealthy people from Western countries have to pay exit taxes. Americans can't exit without giving citizenship, though.

US billionaires who moved to China would simply get executed over their crimes (like tax evasion). Will not happen.
