cocoduck:I asked a simple question and you start a histrionic display like a fishwife There is poverty all over the world. You made a claim so provide us with evidence to back up your claim. I have not said it is false or true. Just provide facts. At any rate even if it is true it proves nothing. |

Ola one: I have never supported Chinese model of govt nor their business practices such as devaluing their currency, however, I join them in saying it's time to De-Americanize the world. Chinese are no saint either, they have as much fraud and crime as the U.S., BUT the focus is more on the economic and what impacts us as global trading entities. |

I don't see the need for these argument, I understand both sides, but here's my take on this. Is China or even Russia ready to lead the world to order, answer is NO. To become a global leader, you need a better Legal, Political, Economical, Militarily superb system in place, which right now, China seems to be lacking in almost three of them with exception to economy. For the world to accept China, they have to go through a lot of surgery because the world is changing fast and many nations are fast rising. Right now, the odds are against China that it is for the U.S., China isn't ready to lead BUT they are on the path. |

The key issue here is should the dollar continue to be the world's reserve currency and what risks does that pose for those who hold their currency in dollars. Also the fact that most commodities are priced in USD e.g oil. The Chinese are suggesting that in the light of the recent squabbles in the US,the inability of the US to live within its means and with no plan to change its profligate course that the whole world is at risk because the US continues to "Print" money without consequence. It is basically living on "stolen" money each time it prints more dollars because the rest of the world bear the consequences. Any other country doing the same would face massive inflation. China is holding $1.3 trillion of US paper and has come to realize that that is very risky paper and it would like an exit path. That is the issue not whether Chinese folk can afford ice cream or air conditioning Does leading the world mean the right to key the world economy permanently on to the $ and then just print off as much as you like? Bear in mind the difference betwen US debt being dominated in $ and any other currency. In $ in the worst case it can print any amount if push comes to shove. Any country with that kind of power should be expected to live within its means 2 Likes |

Politically nothing changed, economically they removed a lot of anti-liberalization policies of Mao era. Do correct me if am wrong. |

Re: China Blasts US Shutdown, Calls For A ‘de-americanized’ World by manny4life(m): 1:55pm On Oct 16, 2013 |
nitrogen: Which is why my post addresses that China isn't ready to lead. Many other smaller countries would rather side with the U.S. than China or Russia which gives America an advantage. As for leadership, China or Russia aren't ready, but for the De-Americanization, this is strictly based on facts that Americas currency (debt and shutdown) pose a GREAT threat to the global economy. This is the reason they are calling it out loud. 1 Like |

manny4life: I don't see the need for these argument, I understand both sides, but here's my take on this. You are absolute right. China is NOT CAPABLE of leading the world economically and politically at this stage and USA, I believe could purposely elect to default in order to "get rid" of the burden of debts she has enmeshed herself. This could change the entire Economic Dynamics of the World, and reposition them to start all over again with a better Economic Model. This is more assertive since there is no other country capable of taking the lead. 3 Likes |

That is why the business and economic cycles theories exists. Forget what china has got, it is a disguise like the famous TROY gift, the implications on the economies of countries will be worse, China is nowhere near America at all. |

The only solution is for Obama and co to raise the debt ceiling - and quick! After that, the whole world can start the debate on what would be best to replace the dollar. One thing is certain though - it cannot be another currency. There really is no alternative currency-wise. China employs deceptive tactics with its currency, the euro isn't stable enough, and the GBP would portend the exact same problem we encounter with the dollar - too much debt! One thing is certain though: if they choose to default, China, Japan, et al will suffer huge losses - and that has its disadvantages. 2 Likes |

olabukola: A universal currency backed by all nation. It must be a new currency and every nation will have equal stack in it. I haven't heard about a universal currency, heck if U.S and her Europe allies won't be part of it, then such decision is DOA. What I knew back then was BRICS wanting to initiate a new trading currency, but guess what, I think they've been unsuccessful about the idea. Brings us back to the question How do you DE-AMERICANIZE THE WORLD ? |

[quote author=Ola one][/quote] Lol, the BRICS were just having an idea, I'm sure they've tried to come up with solutions but they have a stumbling block and that's why we haven't heard about anything (a new trading currency amongst the BRICS). Well, let's keep all fingers crossed, meanwhile, I know they can't stand the U.S. but military is another discussion for another day since I'm not too versed in their military capabilities. |
Re: China Blasts US Shutdown, Calls For A ‘de-americanized’ World by MagicBishop: 2:05pm On Oct 16, 2013 |
Don Magic here, anti-spam daft machine banned me . So if the Chinese dump the dollar what other currency would they opt for? The Euro is over valued and is currently buoyed by the German economy alone. The Chinese also don't want to see a weakened dollar or a crashed American economy because the Chinese are the biggest investors in the American Economy and to a large extent China economy is highly dependent on the American consumer market. The sweat shops of Shanghai do more business with the U.S. than they do with the rest of the world. Chinese investments in Treasury Bonds ensure much needed liquidity into the American economy which provides much needed capital for both domestic investments and spending and since China dominates the U.S. consumer market, this investment on their own part in the U.S. economy ensures that factories in China keep producing goods. |
Re: China Blasts US Shutdown, Calls For A ‘de-americanized’ World by manny4life(m): 2:07pm On Oct 16, 2013 |
Billyonaire: That's one idea, then again, this is fiat money, the U.S. will eventually want to wipe out all her debt and start all again, however, I strongly believe this action will have serious and immense negative impact on them. My fear is that military action be be involved if this is the idea because a lot of the worlds reserves are held in the $$$, well let's see what happens. |
