There's nothing Chinese won't sell to you
I'm take one Beijing, please.
That'll be 4 trillion (4×10^12) USD, please
What a bargain!
I just looked at China's GDP (PPP) in Wikipedia and grabbed 10 percent and truncated
unless they eventually don't need foreign currency anymore because their own country produces everything they could ever need or want
Nope. China is too big of a country to produce everything they need themselves.
Contrary to popular belief, what china imports the most is actually electronic components. Followed by fossil fuels.
Those two categories alone account for ~40% of all Chineese imports as of 2024.
I'm sure the elites in China won't take your money because they have gambling, sports cars, and hookers at home /s
