I'm Canadian. But to your point, because you don't have the oil and wheat that the Russians do. Besides remember China's other surplus ... young men ... land army. @lainvestorgirl – that would be “you”… I’m Canadian.

Maybe we can sell them our accountants and rating agencies.

The Chinese and Japanese central banks can print money, exchange it for dollars and loan the dollars to us. It doesn't really cost them anything except consumer electronics and tainted food products. It keeps their currency down and provides jobs. They have no incentive to switch away from dollars. I don’t think the dollar will crash.

If they wouldn't, there would be social chaos instantly - we will have it anyway, but later ha!! ha!! (it makes me fun as humans then will enter a period of harsh natural selection, a need for our planet to survive!)

How does that work exactly? BTW, has anyone looked into the fact that the Chinese, owning all this US debt but not passing it on to their people, are hoarding it to buy weaponry and leverage (read: USA stay out of it) against their upcoming war with the Russians over oil and food? Inscrutable you say?
