This is the dilemma of dedollarization. Dollar might be crap, but you might replace it with a worse crap. Someone like China could swallow the crap just to inflict political damage on US, but not everyone can afford that. Furthermore smaller country can give political concessions in exchange for making a country accept bad currency, India is too big for concession.

Simple terms explain in supermarket scenario below:

Indian mart has spices, pharmaceutical drugs
Middleast bazaar has oil, gas, spices
Russia has grains, barleys , gas, oil, military equipment
Brazil has beef and poultry
African country has minerals and fertilizers
SEA nations has rice, fruits
China has finished products ( electronics, cars, trains, infrastructures, military equipment, finished goods) aka Supermarket

By trading in Renminbi all the nations can choose to trade for finished product from China or China will pay in a voucher (Renminbi) if they do not want to exchange for finished goods, Chinese supermarket voucher are recognized to exchange amongst other products with other countries.

Imagine an Indian mart want to also issue a voucher that can only exchange with spices and drugs, most would rather have China supermarket voucher which they can get everything, that's the case of USD hegemony because China accepting USD as interchangeable w their voucher , once China and others stop accepting USD voucher -it's gameover.

Getting your currency accepted is not done in one day , it's take decades of industry diversification so you become the supermarket and your "voucher" can be accepted

Since Koreans claim that ancient Chinese history is actually Korean history, Mr AskAKorean ought to know this:

史记有：秦王饮酒，酣，曰：“寡人窃闻赵王好音，请奏瑟。”赵王鼓瑟，秦御史前书曰：“某年月日，秦王与赵王会饮，令赵王鼓瑟。

During warring states era, in a meeting, Lord of Qin tricked lord of Zhao into playing music for him, and ordered Qin courtier to record the event as "Lord Qin ordered Lord Zhao to entertain him".

How it ended: In response, Lin Xiangru (蔺相如), Zhao's prime minister, threatened Lord Qin at knife point (not sure whether he threatened to commit suicide or kill Lord Qin), ordering Lord Qin to also play music, and had the Zhao courtier record the event as "Lord Qin played music to entertain lord Zhao".

This story is known as 赵王鼓瑟，秦王击缶.

Gold is a MUCH safer bet than the dollar right now. Heard through my spouse that a senior colleague of hers (very senior exec at a giant US bank) moved most of his paper wealth into gold and is very pessimistic about the dollar/treasuries. Meanwhile, the hedge funds are mostly shorting small-mid sized regional banks. Either way, seems like shit is at huge risk of going down big time. Those with a lot to lose are bracing themselves.

It just shows how retarded Americans (politicians) are and how they completely don't understand anything. In the past, investors from China buying homes were trying to get some of their money out of the evil ZZP hands. They are just screwing the "regular" immigrant Chinese and the money will just get invested somewhere else.

  • Florida is the retirement state of choice for Boomer Americans, probably the most racist and China hating group in America today.
  • Not surprisingly, it is the home state of Marco Rubio, one of the most racist and China hating politicians in America today.
  • Florida's Asian population is just 2.3%. In other words, it doesn't have enough Asians to oppose its racist policies.
Demographics matter, folks. This is why I've always promoted having more Chinese around the world; when there's blood on the street, people tend to rally around their tribe, and any policy that hurts the Chinese tribe puts all Chinese in danger.

Almost half of young people in Japan have had suicidal thoughts, according to a survey by the Nippon Foundation, with a majority of those respondents saying they did not speak with anyone about their feelings.

The report based on the survey, which sought responses from 501,018 people between the ages of 18 and 29 in November and received valid responses from 14,819, was released last month and found that 56.6% of those who had suicidal thoughts did not speak to anyone about it, while 12.4% of people said they opened up to friends and 11.7% to their mothers. More than half of the respondents were unaware of organizations or support groups that help those with suicidal thoughts.

Overall, the report showed that 44.8% of respondents had experienced suicidal ideation, citing difficulties in their relationships with others, bullying and anxiety over their future employment or educational prospects. Among those who had suicidal thoughts, 40.8% said they had prepared to take their own life or attempted it.

The number of respondents to the questions on suicidal ideation was 14,555.

Of those who identified as LGBTQ, 59.4% experienced suicidal ideation. For transgender and nonbinary people specifically, who made up 10% of respondents, 52.4% experienced suicidal ideation. The figure was 41.3% for people who identified as cisgender — those whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth.

People who have experienced sexual abuse were more likely to have reported suicidal thoughts, with the figure reaching 76.4％, compared with 39.3% for those who had not experienced sexual abuse. The survey found that 15.3% of respondents had experienced sexual abuse.

According to health ministry data, suicide was the leading cause of death for young people from 2019 to 2021.

Yet some Japanese policymakers want to get involved in a conflict over the Taiwan Strait. They are really delusional.

What's wrong with US' copium above? To paraphrase Kishore Mahbubani: it's wrong to frame the US-China competition as democracy vs autocracy, because it will give the US the false sense of security that victory will be ensured at the end. In reality, it is a competition between America's plutocracy and China's meritocracy. If America's plutocracy could only produce someone like Kamala Harris (see below), then China may well be the one that prevails eventually.

More people didn't make a difference in Vietnam, Indonesia, or Malaysia for Chinese. It is the rise of China that changes things. A few years ago, some SEA nations want to shift blame to ethnic Chinese to alleviate domestic issues and grievances. It is due to China's pressure that they back down. So simply having more people don't change a thing unless you have the carrot to fight back.

It isn't to say having more people and being political active don't help. But it is only to an extent and people shouldn't underestimate divide and conquer as I can foresee many race traitors to bow to the discrimination and repression and turn their back on their own race.

Some one should burn that retard because unless they come forward in good faith after they get rid of all USA troops and asset in the Asia pacific region and also under no preconditions whatsoever, China owes the USA nothing. Anyone that says otherwise quite frankly should GTFO. Even then the USA can never be trusted to act in good faith anyway because of how often they break treaties and agreements all of the time
