Will China lead to the downfall of the US?

Quora: What are the reasons why China will lead to the downfall of the US?

Peter Elliott (NZ) replied.

Most likely way is to destroy the USD hegemony.

Having said that, Trump sort of started it by weaponising the USD, and SWIFT in particular. As a consequence China is moving away from trading in USD, along with other countries like Russia, Iran and parts of Europe.

Once trade is done with other currencies the massive debt that the US holds won’t be so well supported and the value of the USD will plummet if not collapse according to a lot of economists.

Of course it might not happen and it might just be another doomsayer thing, but it’s the only way China will have a hand in the downfall of the US. If that was to happen.
