    I thought I’d read something recently that China is in danger of defaulting on like a trillion dollars of debt, to a bunch of US bondholders. Dunno what that means here, but

      Didn’t know that. Wow everyone and everything we know is so backwards!

      The former Chinese government (now kmt in taiwan) took a loan like 80 years ago. after the war, the PRC and the USA both just kinda assumed China wasn’t ever going to pay.

      For a while there USA maintained that the KMT was the government in exile, but with normalization with the PRC, that all kinda got swept under the carpet.

      The US debt held by China today, is the same as other countries are holding. People need to believe this will be one day repaid and profitable.
