Do you ever wonder what the Chinese do with those billions of dollars they get from us? You know they eventually have to spend them here somehow or keep them in a lock box...

I don’t know what they do with ALL of it, but they are buy homes WITH CASH. Which I think is partially responsible for the insane home prices out here.

It’s got to take a lot of money to build islands in the middle of the ocean. Wonder what that costs?

A lot of it goes into China's military, space program, and infrastructure, instead of ours.
