This will drive the force of China into invading Taiwan.
and hell will soon freeze over
I can appreciate at least that she’s trying to be unconventional to win.
Easier to get blood out of a turnip.
Not that mainland China does not have the means (they COULD) float some sovereign debt of their own to cover it, paying off that debt over time), but just that they will never do it.
And,uh, not to mention all we did to free their country from the Japanese in WW2.
But something new for Trump to irritate China with....
China: “Sure, here you go. Here’s a stack of U.S. Treasury Bills. That ought to cover it.”
Deal !!
The bad math.....it burns!!!
Why does this silly, hugely inaccurate story keep circulating every few months?
Can't any of these news outlets calculate compound interest?
You take tungsten. Just as heavy and no melt like gold. You take!
Please add...soon to be former senator Mcsally.
She only knows how to do one thing well in politics, and that’s lose big races!!!
Why not just default on America’s debt to China?
"You no get money from China. That debt berong to old China government which rong gone now."
“Why not just default on Americas debt to China?”
China would retaliate by withholding inventory forcing the closure of walmart, target, harbor freight, etc. and tens of thousands of small manufactures in America whose supply chain is sourced from China.
And the lead time to find other suppliers and obtain current levels of inventory would take years.
We’ve put ourselves into a situation where the two choices are a cold turd or warm douche.
They how does the current Chinese government justify reviving far older and less well-founded claims for territory based on prior Chinese governments?
Ordinary Chinese still like the way that in WW II the US effectively beat Japan and then ended the conflict with a couple of nuclear firecrackers. For the Chinese, arguments that the A-bombings might have been avoided are simply a way of suggesting that the Americans were delivering a final good kick to the Japanese for the sake of justice.
Non binding resolution. Yeah, that’ll teach ‘em.
Excellent! I was wondering when someone would push this issue.
A trillion here, a trillion there...
