BRICS+ Summit

China has very close trade relations with the US that don't seem to be dented by any anti-Chinese rhetoric from America. They are major buyers of US debt. I can imagine that they would not mind whatever BRICS might come up with, since they would be THE major player in that organization. (Russia would like to be, but it's not going to happen).

If you think the dollar is one the way out, think again.

If you think that the US is "requesting" Chinese resources, think again. Try looking at the balance of payments and tell me if it looks like the US is screwing over China.

As for India, what resources are you talking about?

The US are in debt to them and others to the tune of $32 trillion. Your spending exceeds your income so you keep borrowing.

So if the US is in massive debt to China, it doesn’t really follow that the US is making demands of China by manipulating control of the dollar. Does it?
