That financial crisis that was on the horizon is now coming into closer view. A lot has been happening very quickly lately, but the the fall of the U.S. dollar has been like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I can see that the bridge ahead is washed out and the train isn't even trying to slow down. I'm headed for the last car, maybe that won't sustain as much damage in the crash.

Oh, and I will gladly educate you a bit further as you seem to have nothing for me. China has spent a great deal of effort devaluating their currency. If they replaced the dollar their currency would skyrocket. What happens to a country who lives on cheap exports when their currency skyrockets?

The Elite behind the scenes packed up the productive part of America to China, and now their completing the finishing touches.

As with the downfall of any empire, the USA will become more and more irrelevant on the world stage. This is just the beginning.

China has no military power. They are trying to flex political and economic power though. It will become news when their currency starts being used.
The PLA is the world's largest military force, with approximately 3 million members, and has the world's largest (active) standing army, with approximately 2.25 million members. The PLA comprises five main service branches, consisting of the PLA Ground Force, PLA Navy (PLAN), PLA Air Force (PLAAF), Second Artillery Corps (strategic missile force), and the PLA Reserve Force.
