Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has moved aggressively and quickly to secure a stronger role in what she has called the world's most
important relationship: U.S. dealings with China. But military and economic tensions between the two powers keep getting in her way......
"The strategic dialogue that was begun in the Bush administration turned into an economic dialogue," Clinton said. "That's a very important aspect
of our relationship with China, but it's not the only aspect of our relationship."
In Beijing last month, on her first foreign trip as secretary, Clinton said she and new Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner "will both be fully
engaged" in discussions with China. Clinton then pleasantly surprised China by saying the Obama administration would not let its human rights
concerns interfere with cooperation with Beijing....
Elizabeth Economy, Asian studies director at the Council on Foreign Relations, said Clinton moved quickly in "capturing the China portfolio, but
given the nature of the relationship between China and the United States, there's no doubt that trade, currency and investment issues are going to be
front and center."....
"The United States usually comes to China with a pretty long list of what we want China to do, and, for the most part, what China wants is to be left
alone," Economy said.

China is already easing out of Treasuries under cover of the huge rush into them by worldwide investors seeking a safe haven right now. Instead
they're buying up depressed commodities and hard assets. So the process you describe is already well underway. It won't be seen for what it is until
the panic subsides and China's presence is revealed to be much reduced in T sales.

There are many good points that Mr. Paul points out in the video but none were more prophetic then calling for the dollar bubble to burst. When the
video was recorded the US Dollar index was around 86. Today the US Dollar Index is currently at 75.5...
