Because the US didn't close down as hard nor give as big of a stimulus, that strengthened the dollar on the global stage at the beginning of the pandemic especially (things have mostly leveled off at this point), but there was a substantial run into the dollar at various points during the pandemic. Trust in the US dollar is not the same thing as trust in the US government, but everything you've said on this topic is irrelevant because you can look at hard data to back up my claim.
The US has far larger freshwater reserves than China, lack of adequate agricultural land is already a problem in China and that isn't really true in the US.
The US is successful despite massive institutional failure because of solid geopolitical fundementals that have long made the country successful in all sorts of ways.

Lol wat?

China is making great strides in combating desertification and reclaiming desert land, the US is still destroying its own land and abandoned all environmental regulations on big petro chem industries. US infrastructure is also 50+ years old and suffering from severe neglect with 10 damn breaks in this year alone, if you think this is going away anytime soon you are fooling yourself.

Solid geopolitical fundamentals like sanctioning 40% of the globes population turning them away from the dollar? Wars in 7 countries? military operations in 120 countries? a ballooning military budget with lower and lower returns and no ability to win wars? Totalt lack of any ability to get "partners" and "allies" to even follow basic US geopolitical interests?
There are indexes that measure the run rate into the US dollar, these metrics have been up since the start of the pandemic.
Solid geopolitical fundementals like having huge fresh water reserves. Coasts on the Pacific and atlantic. The Mississippi and Missouri rivers that create the world's largest watershed and can also be used for energy purposes. More freight rail than any other nation by far.
Go hate the US as much as you want, but there are reasons why it's successful that are worth understanding. Additionally having the largest military in the world wasn't just something that happened, it required a lot of the above.
I commented elsewhere, but having 2 coasts along with the Mississippi River watershed is a huge boon to the success of the US and has been for a very long time. The US is one of very few countries that doesn't really have to depend on other countries to due things because of their own geopolitical constraints.
