In a rare meeting with heads of 40 multinational companies, Chinese leader Xi Jinping sought to strike a contrast with protectionist President Donald Trump.

“China was, is, and will be an ideal, safe, and promising investment destination for foreign investors,” Xi told the gathering, which included leaders from American businesses including Pfizer, FedEx and asset manager Blackstone. “Going with China is going with opportunities, believing in China is believing in tomorrow, and investing in China is investing in the future.”

    And the end begins. Our economic enemies are going to use this period of instability to completely decimate the dollar.

        Maybe the ideological end. I’m talking about the collapse of the dollar–which is synonymous with the US. We’re already talking about defaulting on loans, and now our economic competitors are offering safe haven for billions in investments because the dollar isn’t in a good place. People generally don’t like to flop large sums of money around. If its in dollars, they’ll keep it there until there’s a reason not to–and vice versa. If confidence in the dollar is low enough that people run to China for investment opportunities to protect their capital, they’ll never return to the dollar.

          How is the US defaulting on loans and the value of the dollar china’s responsibility. Trump is running around destroying America in prime time. No one is standing up and screaming about it. Bernie and AOC held a rally with 30k people. Those are chump numbers compared to American war protests in the 60/70s and anything held in Europe in general. The US has well over 300 million people.

            How is the US defaulting on loans

            By refusing to pay back debt–refusing to increase the debt ceiling, etc.

                I think rather you missed something. Not once have I said anything about the value of the dollar being China’s responsibility.

                I answered your direct question while ignoring the rest of the bullshit you made up without even pointing out that you pulled it from nowhere and it’s stupid. I think I did a pretty good job.
