The westoids have also said that the Chinese written ideograhic language was a hindrance to China's further tech development or advanced society(got books in my library still saying so!).....now Chinese language has actually benefited brain development,pattern recognition,memory.And now with electronics/software the Chinese language has readily adapted/grew.

Considering all that China has invented over the centuries, then that means it was playing under handicap and still was the most innovative society on the planet for nearly all of human history!

I must correct you on 1 thing: it is not just Trump that needs to appear to "win" all the time. this is the core of Germanic Winnology Theory. If its not Trump it will be someone else.
OMG,this reminds me of what Hitler said after being informed of the disaster at Stalingrad and the death of at least 250,000 German troops,"in dying and losing they were winning" or that effect-nothing changes with these people.

Folks, I don't know who needs to hear this, but the idea that foreigners selling US treasuries is somekind of "threat" was always bogus. The US doesn't need anyone to buy its domestic debt. The Fed can always monetise the debt. It can just push a button. Same as in any other country. The people raising the bogeyman of foreigners selling US treasuries need to read up on MMT theory. If your central bank is sovereign, then there are no real threats here.


I think you underestimate the desperation of non-China East Asian countries. Their entire growth model is based on exports to the world, and most of that is going to the West. Japan is a perfect example of that. Hell, this is a problem even for many European countries who have relied on US consumers to a much larger extent than they should have.
While the USG doesn't need people to keep buying its debt (by foreigners or not) is correct in that USD denominated Treasury debt is not at risk of default, as the Fed can keep printing and buying to finance the USG. But doing so is inflationary, which is why govts prefer debt financing, which is not inflationary compared to QE. For other countries, there's a limit of how much one can keep borrowing as eventually the yield would become unbearable. Fortunately for the US, as USD is the world reserve currency, that limit is much bigger or practically unlimited for as long as the USD is the WRC, supported by 800 overseas military bases, petrodollar, SWIFT, and other hegemonic measures.

That said, as interest rates for the private sector borrowing are usually in lockstep with Treasury yields, if those get too high, it would be very bad for the economy. No govt wants a bad economy.

I think they all became SQUID-salt/pepper squids stirfried over a plate of crispy noodles-Chinese /Guangdong Style-and now after Orange Buffoon's actions/words/insults no antiChina bloc is ever forthcoming except for lowlife india of course.BTW we can mark yesterday as the Day China stepped out onto the world's stage as a full Superpower in that nasty trade war spat episode and Trump blinked and caved not China.
