Bitcoin itself is not political. This the problem with a lot of the perspectives I've seen on this issue. What you might do with Bitcoin could be political... but it also could not.
It's the ideologies of some of the users of Bitcoin that give it a certain meaning but I doubt that everyone who touches Bitcoin or looks into it will see it in the same way
That is exactly the point. Bitcoin is apolitical and doesn't subscribe to one ideology, in fact is ideologically neutral. But it still has an impact on geopolitics. That is why the Chinese government can argue that Bitcoin is just a technology and incidentally it would also help defeat their nemesis at the same time.
If you read Sun Tzu you will understand that in the Chinese way of thinking the pinnacle of excellence is to defeat your enemy without even fighting.
