To put its ownership of U.S. debt in perspective, China’s holding of $1.24 trillion is even larger than the amount owned by American households. U.S. citizens hold only about $959 billion in U.S. debt, according to the Federal Reserve.

Just Sayin!

I was going to make a similar comment. These wealthy elitists find it so easy to sound tough with their words, but what have they ever done that shows courage or sacrifice for a greater cause? I hope he has sons or relatives ready to enlist if this kind of talk should provoke a military incident.

You know, when the call happened I originally thought that it was the mark of incompetence, and now it looks like it’s a frontal assault by the incoming administration on China, on both economic and possibly military fronts. This is totally playing with fire, and if it continues it will lead to shooting in the South China Sea that the US will get drawn into.
