China warned the United States on Wednesday not to adopt punitive currency policies that could disrupt U.S.-China relations after Donald Trump’s win in the Nevada caucus.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters in Beijing that “we are following with interest the U.S. presidential election.”

Hua was asked about China’s response to a possible Trump presidency and his announced plan to punish China for currency manipulation with a tax on Chinese goods.

“Since it belongs to the domestic affair of the U.S., I am not going to make comments on specific remarks by the relevant candidate,” she said.

"Total world government debt exceeds $280 trillion"

The US has only (only lol) $20trillion in actual debt. I very seriously doubt the rest of the world has a combined $260trillion.

If you're counting "total government commitments", don't. They will never bee paid in full and neither will treasury debt.

That's certain because it's not possible.

But the rest of your analysis is correct. We hold all the cards, but you didn't mention the trump card: the largest market in the world and the largest capital stock/net worth.

Nobody will engaged a trade war with us if they believe we intend to win.

Nobody.

So I guess this means the Chinese will not be laundering secret campaign donations to Trump like they did for Bill Clinton?
