You can criticize China, but then you lose their dollars.

So in the end, the thing that rules over you is actually money.



There's a difference between a who and a what.

Also consider: you can ask a PRC official what they think, and you'll get a response. Try to do the same thing to a pile of money? Crickets.


That's not obvious at all in any place in the world.


Same as China and USA. China can criticize USA, but they will lose money.


China's economic tactic is to convert their manipulated currency into dollars. China is desperate for dollars. No one trades in or trusts RMB.


Except when they need to buy anything from China. Or are all those factories an illusion as well?


I buy from China as part of my job and we usually either buy in Hong Kong dollars, US dollars or RMB and dump the RMB as soon as possible. One of the reasons that HK exists in its current form is to allow us to easily dump RMB.


Isn't that conducted in dollars?
