There is a huge risk that if in an unlikely event such a bizarre law was to come to pass in U.S then global investors would restructure and maybe HK banks and brokers would benefit. It will all just hastens the decoupling from the dollar. It will make the dollar weaker against foreign currencies making debt easier to pay back. When your not paying China in dollars any more your gonna be paying them in something else

I just don't get the U.S motives sometimes. It has to be private interests rather than any real sense of righteousness or thought through geopolitical strategy. The U.S anti-China sentiment by some officials has very little long term logic to it.
Janet Yellen warning China is a joke also. They talking about China as if its small undeveloped vessel banana republic like Bahamas rather than the worlds second biggest economy and a super power....lol.
Anyway U.S have been taking L's everywhere from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and Somali. Even now with Houthis in Yemen they cannot even stop them and have zero chance of defeating them...lol. Thoughtful diplomacy is the best way to achieve results not military power or economic threats and sanctions. They should learn on how far that got them with Russia as China has ability to export inflation big time sadly.
