re: What's your plans if the US has a sovereign debt crisis?

the question was how long would it take China to replace the U.S. as the world’s alpha superpower?

If I would have told you in the year 2000 that China will be approaching a position to challenge the US economically and militarily in less than 25 years you would have laughed then too.

A simple google search for gold backed renminbi ( Yuan) will bring you up to date …. give it a try.

Let me ask you a simple question …. How do you think Russia has thumbed thier nose at US sanctions by selling Oil to China, India, Brazil and other BRIC nations?
Those nations pay for it in gold via the Shanghai Gold Exchange … using the gold backed renminbi (Chinese yuan). Surely you’re not suggesting they used the Petrodollar and the US Swift system … and that our government allowed this, right?

If that happens the only thing here that will have any real value will be guns ammunition and food.

China is not in a position to challenge the US.

Have you ever been there? You go an hour outside of the major manufacturing sectors and its still the 19th century.

The only person you listed with any geopolitical intelligence, said China was going going to collapse a decade ago, but now has apparently done a 180.

On top of all of that, your argument is that the USD has to fall because of our debt problem. Guess what...China's debt problem is worse than ours.

few cases of booze might go a long way

I have seen almost 3 konths in china...much of it in a business capacity.

They have the patience to out-think us and fully believe they are doing exactly that.

However, I could write a thesis on why it won't happen. They are confused, disorganized, corrupt, inept...fill in 30 more descriptive words. Anyone who has done business there...especially outside of Shanghai or Beijing can relate.

It's a shitshow. I do business all over the planet. Chinese are a shitshow...and, yes, I was dealing directly with their government before covid

Self sustainability is your answer.

Stop relying on China to make you a t-shirt.

This is the correct answer. If the USD is no longer the currency that everyone uses to trade (anytime soon) then it is hell on Earth.

You best put your daddy’s stuff up before he gets home baw.
