China will not win playing it like that. If it goes after US vassals, it will lose. The United States has too much leverage over them including 'soft power', they would rather remain under US influence even if it's against their interests, the kind of powerful brain washing shampoo the US produces for citizens of these countries is no joke. China should go after the US itself, slowly pulling any lever it has and bring the US to the negotiating table.

In finance, one of the most important things is trust. NY, London and Hong Kong are financial centers because they have been in the game for so long and people trust them with money.
Without trust, the market collapses because people will no longer want to engage in business.
When it comes to finance stuff, I hope China is keeping a list of countries that have lost credibility and treat them as one. I don't expect military actions. But as a country that tries to screw over China in finances, I hope China will act equally harsh to it going for stuff in that field going forward.

Now Trump has no choice but to attack Iran.
Those off branch "Mongol groups" had long disappeared and inter-mix with others to the point where there is no longer an identity.
The only legitimate Mongols left today that everyone collectively known as "Mongols" and are considered the only direct successors to the Mongolian lineage are the Sinicised Mogols that came after the Yuan Dynasty of China, this is a fact. And DO NOT forget the balkanisation of Outer-Mongolia (including tannu uriankhai) from China is only a very recent thing done by imperialist Russia/ Soviets! This is why a misunderstanding can happen if people use the relatively modern understanding of the term "Mongols" when actually referring to the proto-period where the tribes are divided and much messier.
But tbh this misunderstanding isn't anyone's fault as there really isn't a specific name that differentiates this loose transition period during the establishment of the term "Mongols" (from the previous Xianbei/ Shiwei) but also right before the period of their Sinicisation during the Yuan, but at least I do get what you mean now. Either way, all I can say is that Russia shall pay for the crimes they committed against China one day, which includes the stealing and balkanising of Chinese people and Chinese lands.
Nominal GDP is not tradeable by any means actually. There is no way to trade a US haircut for its nominal value, for instance, as the US haircutter also pays US rent, US taxes, US utilities, US non import prices, etc.
When a war breaks out, you can try shooting nominal dollars, as the EU is finding out against "Italy sized" Russia.
this is actually a falsifiable claim.
Simple proof: US churns out thousands of capeman superhero power fantasy movies, books and TV shows, where capeman flies around, punches the baddie, everything goes back to the status quo and he flies off with a "never give up muh bros!!!11!!!" message. The greatest conflict is about capeman not wanting to hurt the baddie too badly.
If they were so paranoid and serious why do they always go for power fantasy and deus ex machina in their media? You can't tell me it's just media - it wouldn’t be made or selling if it wasn't actually believed in by a substantial fraction of the people.
In fact I can name multiple right now, including entire book series, movie series, TV shows with multiple seasons, etc.
there are near 0 movies, books or TV shows where they seriously examine themselves and imagine the consequences to catastrophes.
Here's a simple one: open YouTube in your phone's browser and switch the browser to desktop mode. Hope that works.
Not any browser though. If you use safari it doesn’t work.
