    As the world wealth KPIs such as GDP per capita lock in the USD hence the cheapest the US is the more wealth the world will be. The cheapest he USD is the less debt the world will be. For example 1. GDP per capita. Let Say Iraq GDP percapita is 11K dinar. when Saddam was alive 1 dinar = USD 3.2. Meaning Iraq GDP per capita was USD 32,500. After Saddam was hung 1 USD = 1100 dinar. Meaning Iraq GDP per capita is only USD 10. So where is the remaining of USD 32,490? 2. Debts Iraq has foreign debts of USD 1 million. when Saddam was alive 1 dinar = USD 3.2 After Saddam was hung 1 USD = 1100 dinar. Meaning Iraq debts were 300K dinar in Saddam era. Now they were 1.1 billion dinar. Look at how scary Iraq debt default risk will be.

    Very true. But if you look at the way the world has been progressing over the last century you’ll notice a system developing of a single world currency under a single world government with nations to act as states to the federal world government. The leaders of it? Just as the video said, those who control the money control everything. In other words, the global elite central bankers will rule this world but not in the shadows as they have for so long.

Now by that nature SWIFT is from an operational perspective subject to three jurisdictions. Banks could hypothetically determine to settle on the other two to be uncorrupted if one jurisdiction would go rogue.

An authoritarian one party communist state with the worst pollution record, worst human rights abuser, the world's chief cyber thief and The Economist really thinks it's going to be the world economic leader. They also have a debt to GDP ratio of over 300%.

    Exactly. China manages to launch a bus into low orbit and suddenly the question is raised will China surpass America in space exploration. America has already sent two spacecraft out of the solar system and has very sophisticated missions mapping the surface of Mars. Anyone investing in China is doing so on a short term basis. The profits are parked in America.

    As the world wealth KPIs such as GDP per capita lock in the USD hence the cheapest the US is the more wealth the world will be. The cheapest he USD is the less debt the world will be. For example 1. GDP per capita. Let Say Iraq GDP percapita is 11K dinar. when Saddam was alive 1 dinar = USD 3.2. Meaning Iraq GDP per capita was USD 32,500. After Saddam was hung 1 USD = 1100 dinar. Meaning Iraq GDP per capita is only USD 10. So where is the remaining of USD 32,490? 2. Debts Iraq has foreign debts of USD 1 million. when Saddam was alive 1 dinar = USD 3.2 After Saddam was hung 1 USD = 1100 dinar. Meaning Iraq debts were 300K dinar in Saddam era. Now they were 1.1 billion dinar. Look at how scary Iraq debt default risk will be.

I personally think they overestimated their skills and the timeline. With CV-19 blowing back in their face the outcome is nowhere near as certain as they had hoped. It’s probably the only chance in time where the west can rebalance the books.

Give away your basic, bottom rung labour (farming, food production, real manufacturing) and you are subject to any disruption that comes along. Business is great so long as you have a consumer base that is employed and can buy your (distractions) goods.

    Obviously no one from the Economist has lived long term in the last 5 years in China to understand the true situation. China's financial goodwill has extremely low influence throughout the world, with or without the USA. This is because of drastic cultural and political differences and aspirations from the rest of the world. There are severe limitations (often tightly controlled by the po_lit_burro and chief Winnie the Pooh) to using the yuan, China based bankcards, Unionpay, Wechat or Alipay both within and outside of China. Most rich people in China are always looking to move their money outside of China and in different currencies. As an American going into Bank of China in China to do basic banking you are treated like an inmate in maximum security jail. Can't use most truly international banking tools or branches if you are a foreigner living in China. Honestly, the worst part of living in China is the banking. Mobile wallets are also tightly controlled with transfer, maximum, and other limits. When you do step into banks in China, you will see anything from shouting matches between old people and agents, people playing phone games loudly on their mobiles, staff refusing to help you because of your nationality, people cutting in line, waiting 90 minutes in line for another 90 minutes of trying to do an international transfer. It's a complete mess. It's like banking in medieval Europe, only with modern technology. How is that supposed to convince the rest of the world to the yuan a try?

    ​@@freemind5321 China can't really "make transparency in the financial system." If they could, they would already have done so. Basically if they're as strong as they say, then showing that win is most definitely in the interest of the CCP who really can only retain power as long as China keeps growing indefinitely (which totally worked for the housing market around 2008.) So being able to show that growth would be a giant benefit to their image. The fact that the CCP is so opaque about such things suggests that they're not doing so hot. I mean I doubt they're actually _failing_ (that tends to become obvious very fast) but its likely the growth they report is both at least a little exaggerated but more importantly is probably built on a fairly shaky foundation, and exposing their cracks could potentially expose the risk of other countries (or even sufficiently funded companies or individuals) learning exactly which post to knock out to bring the whole thing crashing down.
