This chapter examines the waning interest of foreign governments, especially China, in U.S. treasuries, and discusses the geopolitical implications of a move away from the dollar towards alternative currencies and gold. The dialogue highlights the economic decoupling between the U.S. and China, the emerging BRICS trading block, and the complexities of currency manipulation and international trade strategies.
