23:57Now PlayingProf. Jiang Xueqin breaks down America's bold strategy to handle its massive $39 trillion national debt by turning to China. From a US perspective, China still has huge potential because it has low debt compared to other major nations. Chinese people save a lot, and the country has plenty of room to take on more debt. Professor Jiang explains that the US wants to open up and financialize the Chinese economy – basically using it as collateral for global financial speculation. He walks through how modern banking works: banks create money out of thin air through loans and double-entry bookkeeping. This system lets the US government borrow endlessly through Treasuries and the Federal Reserve. But with high interest payments, the debt is becoming unsustainable. The solution? Get more people around the world – especially in high-saving China – to buy US Treasuries. Stablecoins like Tether and Circle play a key role here. These coins are backed by US Treasuries, allowing everyday people in China to indirectly fund American debt, even with China’s closed capital account. Professor Jiang makes complex finance simple and shows why the US sees China as the “last great opportunity” in the world.
