Since the beginning of reform and opening up, China has been feeding the United States "opium."

China opened up in 1980. At that time, the scale of U.S. national debt was $0.98 trillion. Today, 46 years later, that figure is $39 trillion, an increase of forty times. Over these 46 years, due to China joining the trade market, it has provided Europe and the U.S. with extremely low-priced goods, allowing them to keep inflation suppressed. Their interest rates have remained low, enabling them to live extremely good lives, to the point where each generation is less inclined to work. In less than half a century, manufacturing has fallen from global first to a lower position. However, they have become addicted to borrowing money to sustain their lives and do not want to face reality, continuously expanding finance while hollowing out manufacturing.

In the recent U.S.-Iran war, in less than a month, the air defense missiles were depleted. Is this still the America that fought the Gulf War? They have enjoyed good times for too long without producing, accumulating massive debts. Our ancient Chinese texts clearly state this is a sign of wastefulness.

Years ago, there was a saying called the “curse of resources.” Generally, countries rich in resources tend not to be strong because easy money leads to fewer people willing to do hard work. In fact, isn’t U.S. debt the biggest resource for America? This situation has formed and has not been reversed.

We are fully patient, waiting for their self-destruction, and the trigger point is that strait. Imagine if the costs of goods and operations crossing the strait have to be settled in RMB; what will happen to that $40 trillion national debt once the dollar anchor is removed?
