The Millennials generation certainly has been one of the bad generation to live in recent time. Suffering two once in a life time events…. so far. Soon enough maybe the UN gonna implode and collapse soon. Then a war with China could potentially happen due to the ever growing ego and pride the neocons/establishment have.

Just on time. Indians will get a taste of what it's like to be Chinese in the west.
it is not this or that ethinic. it is just well off people in time of economic crises and inequality will have to share greater burden.
Germany does not have that much wealthy Indians or other Asians in general so it can drive this hard policies towards Russia.
but others even remotely connected in the act will pay the price.

Lest we forget, China's diplomatic principles/stance on Afghanistan is a good example on how to advance peaceful cooperation, solve security problems

Amid a complex and volatile global climate, the meeting chaired by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in China’s Anhui province, offers an instructive example on how to approach security problems, which is not only of practical significance to Afghanistan, but also important for the international community.
The irresponsible withdrawal of the United States and its allies from Afghanistan last September left more than 20 million people facing an economic and humanitarian crisis, with high unemployment, food insecurity and an ongoing pandemic
In the face of such a dire situation, China, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan agreed to work together to support Afghanistan through its transition, believing that the country’s neighbours should help provide a favourable external environment for its reconstruction. Such a mechanism has provided stability during a critical period of uncertainty.

This goes back to the age old question of "how?"

What can China feasibly replace them with that's reasonable?

China doesn't need need people on the internet saying they need to reduce US Treasuries and other USD assets, because they already know.

They have plenty of economists and macro policy makers way smarter than us and they would have found a solution by now if it was easy and does little harm to China.
I believe that is more about the timing of when to remove these treasuries to deal the most damage. Once the USA stock market crashes or the USA goes past the line of no return in regards to Taiwan, they would dump the entire treasury onto the market to crash the USA economy on the spot. It’s all about the timing and limiting the effects on Chinas economy but should the USA economy decline to the point of no return, the incentive to keeps those worthless treasuries will vanish. China now holds the cards needed to keep the European economies (due to all the German and other European companies having their manufacturing firms their now that Europe is rapidly losing the ability to produce at due to the gas sources required being cut down to near nothing) and the USA economy (due to all the manufacturing companies that are there right now) from falling into the abyss. Should Europe or the USA keep pushing China around, they could nationalise all these firms and cut the west out of the manufacturing market forever while Russia and China can cut off all resources to other nations that need them to give the west an alternative.
the Ukrainian conflict is already demolishing the economies of Europe to the point where trying to fix the problem is almost impossible with the Russians now wanting to cut ties with Europe forever and let the rest of the EU starve and freeze to death for their stupidity, do they want to ensure its complete destruction by cutting themselves off from all the other goods that might just might help from China like portable heaters and other high tech goods that they can no longer make. If there is such think as a new world order, I don’t thing the USA or the EU will be the ones to lead it, because they are too stupid and morally bankrupt to do such a thing. China and Russia will eventually put these idiots in their places once these economies become so dependent on these two nations that a mere push of a button can wipe out nations, and that both nations are so economically damaged that only total servitude can be remote enough to afford some mercy because we all know that paper money from the EU and the USA is going to be worth nothing in the end and that these nations owe China and Russia for all the problems they have caused and their is a long laundry list that quite frankly, it’s a miracle and near saintliness that either nations haven’t resorted to nukes yet hence why these other nations a so damn ungrateful. Really if they think they can somehow give more treasuries/false promises to China and expect them somehow tow their line without a say in the matter, they have another thing coming.

Another cool head? Or is there some reflection going on? Is Ukraine winning? Would it be too lame too late?
In other words the U.S. can't and should not be able to have the foolish, arrogant strategy of being everywhere and anywhere to defend it's PRIMACY not interest because it'll end up without defending nothing.

The U.S. share of global economy is no longer at 27% as it was in the 1950's but currently stand based on the 2020 figure at 16% and falling while China and Russia are at a combined 22% which is set to increase in the case of China. Which tells us a vivid picture that economic power coupled with military power are what makes a country a true superior power. Having a superior military power with a dwindling economy will not be able to sustain that martial advantage.

I hope that U.S. leadership adopt the Hal Brand suggestion of raising it's military spending of percentage to GDP ration from the current 3.2% to 5% and more. I want the U.S. to literally forfeit it's position in globalization to let China strengthen, expands it's foot print in the world with BRI, along with many of the key trade agreements it signed such as RECP, and soon TPP.

The arrogance of the current American strategic leadership back by their useless cadres of think tanks that produce nothing but the persistent belief in American hyper dominance, and supremacy despite the changing conditions on the ground will be their undoing. And no amount of China bashing and anti-China wishful thinking will change that trajectory if the U.S. leadership keeps charging ahead like a bull in a China shop approach with their so-called strategy against China.
