Dragon does have an abort system. The difference between Dragon and Starship is that the latter is supposed to fly frequently. They intend to fly several uncrewed missions before putting humans on it.

They never abandoned a Starship abort system because it has never had one.

Even if it were possible for SpaceX to launch from China (it isn't), they are still a US-based company.
