I imagine China's going to have to write that off at some point.

And the US have a monopoly on USD production, so not a huge problem for them.

It's gonna be really funny when the US realizes that it can't expect other countries to transfer their wealth to the US when there's no more wealth to transfer because they've been extracting it for a century.

I expect it's more likely going to be because these countries are going to refuse doing business with the west as they start aligning with BRICS.
