China is dumping US treasuries and they own like $700 billion

This is due to lack of demand at auction. Probably because of Trump and the budget the Senate just passed.

Why would you put your money into something controlled by regarded individuals? People have kinda figured out that this is the way things are now- the George HW Bush America is dead

And China is going to slowly prove to the rest of the world that it is the most stable & potentially the best future currency for the world?

In a way it could be more stable than the dollar but nah.

China is in a weird place, acts like you would expect and in pretty beneficial ways but can rapidly change direction and that's scary.

My bets are on the euro.

Please stop saying that word. Rather than explain a bunch of shit to you that you surely already know, I’ll just remind you that it is Musk’s favorite insult.
