Update (1355ET): Just minutes after the "threat" from China, the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) issueed a press release asking Blackrock - the world's largest asset manager - to divest its customer's money from the 137 Chinese companies currently listed on American stock exchanges.
The letter was addressed to BlackRock Chair and CEO Larry Fink:
Of the 137 Chinese companies currently listed on American stock exchanges, eleven are at least 30% owned by the Chinese government and all are "under the influence and ultimate control of the Communist Party of China."
BlackRock, the world's largest investment manager, recently divested itself of certain companies producing thermal coal in response to demands by anti-fossil fuel activists. In the letter, NLPC Chairman Peter Flaherty cited this "precedent" and argued that Chinese companies "that manufacture equipment for Xi's surveillance state or that are dominated by the People's Liberation Army raise even bigger ethical questions."
"China is the world's worst human rights abuser and greatest threat to world peace through its military buildup and increasingly imperial ambitions," Flaherty writes.
"Some investment managers argue that factors like human rights should not be considered in investment decisions because they have a fiduciary duty to investors to obtain the best possible return. Of course, you have specifically rejected this argument by applying a host of ESG litmus tests to BlackRock's investments."
"In light of your self-appointment as moral arbiter for corporate America, you cannot now pick and choose which moral imperatives you will honor and which you will ignore. Unless BlackRock divests from Chinese companies, your 'leadership' will amount to empty virtue-signaling."

They unleashed massive government spending with no idea of who was going to pay for it. They better reverse course pronto. This is obviously not working, was a dumb idea and we need to get back to normal (or as close to) asap. This was a economic catastrophe by decree and it's all on them.

A link to Pablo Escobar's Autobiography might be a better read. Ever since you have been posting on this forum ( some 8 years) , you are like a Doomsday Prepper hoping for a USD demise.
Well , your great grand kids might see that but it will not be China. Your hope for a digital Chinese currency is a non starter. It will be as unpopular as the Chinese One Belt One Road Project.
In the meantime, divest your thoughts out of a USD demise and invest them into basic instruments linked to clean air, food and water for your own mental and financial well being. These are the things that will only matter and the things that future confrontations will be about.

That's it. That's what I keep seeing. There is no alternative international reserve currency.
You know what? I don't think that's enough of a positive. Is that all they got? There is no alternative? Not big enough, not strong enough and probably not true.
"And that leads us to the role of the US dollar in financing global trade. Mahbubani correctly analyzes that once this is over, “the complex international system based on the US dollar could come tumbling down, rapidly or slowly.” China’s master plan is to accelerate the process by connecting its digital platforms – Alipay, WeChat Pay – into one global system."

At the moment it looks like we MIGHT get back to quasi normal by say end June. But more normal won't really be around until later than that and then we have the run up to the U.S. election, so basically we are in limbo for pretty much the end of the year.

Built for a global economy, Dubai now threatened by virus
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Dubai built a city of skyscrapers and artificial archipelagos on the promise of globalization, creating itself as a vital hub for the free movement of trade, people and money worldwide — all things that have been disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Now, with events canceled, flights grounded and investment halted, this sheikdom in the United Arab Emirates is threatened both by the virus and a growing economic crisis. Under pressure even before the outbreak, Dubai and its vast web of state-linked industries face billions of dollars in looming debt repayments.

ECB LAGARDE PONZI MAFIA
Reply
Germany’s constitutional court wasn’t making a huge demand on the European Central Bank this month in a landmark ruling that questioned the underpinning of the bloc’s asset repurchase program, the judge who drafted the opinion said.
Peter Huber, a member of the German tribunal, said the ruling was asking the ECB to publicly take responsibility for its quantitative easing program and to explain it to those negatively affected by it. His comments come from an interview published Tuesday on Sueddeutsche Zeitung’s website.
“The message to the ECB is actually homeopathic,” he said. “It shouldn’t see itself as the ‘Master of the Universe.’ An institution like the ECB, which is only thinly legitimized democratically, is only acceptable if it strictly adheres to the responsibilities assigned to it.”
