While the US does have an enormous amount of debt to these countries, you left out the fact that they also owe us a gigantic debt which doesn't get factored into the "we owe people money!!@!@!2121" equations. We've loaned trillions to China, Japan and other countries.
America hasn't loaned other countries 'money' they've loaned them government bonds and paper money which are worthless, China in particular has been quietly buying up lots and lots of precious metals for a long while now, while Americans have been arrogantly doing nothing, convinced in the superiority of their dollar.
China is also a net creditor to the US in the amount of Trillions of dollars
That's like saying I'm relying on the pound to pay for education and Silver/Bitcoin LOL!
No, it's shorting the currency, if all you're going to do is spend it and not hold for any long period it's obvious that it doesn't have any value, inflationary currencies don't encourage spending, they force people to spend because the purchasing power of the currency is being destroyed.The Chinese are preparing to dump the dollar which is why they're spending it on more worthwhile assets and if you seriously think the dollar is worth more than gold you need to go and check the prices lmao.
