As long as we are their biggest customer, i.e., we buy 21% of their exports, they will need us more than we will need them.
China is building ‘super hedge funds’. To them, they will not need this revenue from us in 3-4 four years and I expect their true imperialistic intentions made clear. They also fund Al Queda and the PRC wrote the book Assymetrical Warfare that included flying hijjacked planes as flying bombs into commercial centers. These people are not our friends guy. Yes dollars keep hostile countries around longer, but look at Venezuala and Iran for example and oil. They are replacing us as customers and accelerating (at least Iran) attacks on our troops in Iraq and building the bomb.
