US is simply taking rest of the world for granted...thinking only about its own selfishly by inflating prices of everything and shifting the burden to rest of the world.


However in the long term (nobody knows when...if somebody knows he should be a astrologer)....China would just be able to reduce its dependency on US...and increase trade with other emerging markets instead and of course China's own domestic market ( China is already the world's biggest market for Cars, Cement and Steel).

So if preparing for long term investments in China, like buying some Chinese Yuan and keeping it safely could be good investments ...again not for today but for long term....when is a question which is difficult!!!.
Well, i believe US has actually run out of options, so they are doing whatever they can to pump start the jammed economy. But since there currency USD is the universal currency of exchange of value and store, the more they release it to create demand the more it gets exported out to other nations as investment/FDI or whatever u call it. Since USD is the reserve currency used to trade internationally (esp oil), other nations have to forcefully keep USD in there reserve. And in the process, US's virus have spread everywhere in form of inflation. I don't think they would be doing it intentionally.

Personal POV....
