Key Notes
Jiang links the rise of China directly to this reserve-currency strategy by arguing that America transferred manufacturing, technology, capital, and market access to China in order to sustain the U.S. dollar system.
He argues that America made China rich in order to make China use U.S. dollars, granting market access, investment, technology, education, and military protection.
Jiang says China must diversify because America controls the game and can limit resources and market access when it dislikes a player.
Jiang says the U.S.-China relationship is a grand bargain because China needs American market access for exports, Western-hemisphere food and energy, and access to high-end technology it cannot yet produce on its own.
He says Washington uses semiconductor access to pressure China into opening more of its market to American corporations.
Jiang says the visible purpose of the trade war was to secure greater American access to the Chinese economy.
He argues that U.S.-China rivalry is constrained by deep mutual dependence: China needs access to the American market, while the United States needs China to keep buying U.S. debt.
Jiang says the United States deliberately built up the Chinese export economy with technology, expertise, and market access so China would become dependent on U.S. dollars.
