Great example of why Bitcoin shines as a store of value: unlike real estate, stocks, or money in banks, governments can't effectively seize it at scale.
If you're worried about China seizing property then BTC is even less secure than SF real estate. 71% of the BTC mining hashpower is in China - they control the currency. Luckily the premise is wrong - China more strongly respects property rights than the US does.

Even if 71% of the mining power were in China, which I'm skeptical of, miners don't control the currency. Miners get compensated for doing a job. It's far easier to secure BTC against government seizure than property like real estate.

You're skeptical of it? Have you bought BTC mining hardware? Are there any ASICS being manufactured outside of China that are power efficient? 71% of miners can create arbitrary blocks - that's as mathematically certain as anything around BTC.
