Key Notes
Jiang argues that such a Eurasian financial alternative would bankrupt America because U.S. power depends on continued demand for Treasuries to finance $39 trillion of debt.
Jiang says a Russia-Iran-China trade bloc could negate American naval power, leave the United States holding unsustainable debt, and weaken Washington's leverage over Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
Jiang says a Russia-Iran-China trade bloc could leave the United States stranded with its debt burden and push the empire into wider geopolitical lashing out.
Jiang argues that the underlying American demand is not just tariff relief but Chinese financial-market liberalization and higher Chinese consumer spending to help absorb Western output and debt.
Jiang says a consolidated Russia-Iran-China trade system would leave the United States stranded with its debt burden while the Eurasian bloc trades energy, food, and manufactured goods around American control.
