are you saying China's public debts are in other currencies?

China's foreign debt is comparatively small. CEIC actually has data on external debt owed (total public and private debt owed to non-residents repayable in internationally accepted currencies, goods or services):

"Their debt does not compare to the monstrous debts of Japan and the US."

China's national debt is five trillion BIGGER than that of the US. And $20 trillion more than Japan's

Unlikely... Because it will simply have nowhere to sell its products... If everyone is in crisis - China is the worst off. Mass unemployment and related unrest - the Chinese government is unlikely to survive...

China, but not that one. Island China, Taiwan is there.

Good. I like your argument. If more Americans and China-haters can think and count like you. More Chinese can sleep easier at night.

Back on the topic of AR and Ukranian conflict, what do people in this thread think about air assualt and paratroopers? It seems that the VDV have been relegated to elite shocktroopers compared to the very first days of the war when they stormed Hostomel airport via air assualt.

Since then neither side have had much luck with helicopter borne troops and helicopters are now rarely seen on the front line in any sort of troop carrying capacity.

With the proliferation of Manpads it seems that helicopter intrusion into even lightly defended areas are highly risky, which makes paratrooper assualt basically a suicide mission if attempted without air supremmacy.

In a few years these could be widespread in civilian use, they will come with built in AESA, all you need to do is add an active protection system, if it gets shot down then it’s only a couple, or a few guys lost at worst, because they also come with built in parachutes.
