And don't forget to complain about it as loudly and aggressively as possible, and blame everyone, especially a political party or leader (local or national) because we all know how well this works out for you and those around you.
What would you do if you were me?

There is something very wrong here. Where were you born? Where are you living now? And what country are you a citizen of?
The guy offered you some advice that transcends borders and cultures. Perhaps not every word of his post, but there were some gems in there. He owns this website btw. Self made as far as I know.... so.... somewhere out there exists a fortune cookie that when cracked open and the little piece of paper in it is read... it reads "Listen to those wiser than you."
Just breezing through this thread... it sounds to me like all you want to do is feel sorry for yourself. You best fix that bud, or you aren't going anywhere but lower. 90% of the game is attitude, regardless of circumstances. And make no mistake, I can sympathize with yours. But you asked for opinions. And that's mine.
Was the profit of USD 200,000 before or after tax? And how much is the tax rate?
Solution to Dilemma 1: Continue trading stocks. If you can't make money anymore, then you need to re-examine your trading strategies. It's perhaps time for you to modify your existing trading strategies or create entirely new ones.
Solution to Dilemma 2: If you are truly worried about the possible capital control measures in the future, then you need to make plans now to either get out of the country or get your funds out of the country but I do see the possibility of China forbidding trading of US stocks is very low.
If I guessed correctly, the guy's living in China right now. Do you know what's the women:men ratio in China? It's 1:20!! It means for every single single woman, there are twenty men graveling and will do whatever possible to get into her pants because rape is punishable by death in China. And for you to just ask for a woman's hand in marriage, according to this Youtube video that I watched, the man must have three basic assets of a house, a car and savings and/or at least a six-figure salary. Missing one of these three basic assets, the woman's family won't even allow you to see her, let alone marriage which makes me very suspicious of the OP's story and his authenticity. If he's 42 and people in China usually marry in their 20's that means he would've been married in the early 2000s. How could he have been married if he didn't even have a house?
Something does not add up...
