USD will never crash, Just like Thai baht never crashed. What will crash is EURO and it will most certainly disappear from the face of earth !

When Buffets start to talk about currency, i think there is going to be a currency crisis soon? And this time round, dont tell me is US$?  Remember how much George Soros made during the sterling pounds crisis? followed by Thai baht that led to asian crisis 1997 and now may be US$?  If it is so, our Temasek has indeed, made a good decision to exit Bank of America and venture into China market . 

China rawks......

I beg to differ, present world trading currency system is no longer valid to the current global economic progress and development . . . Therefore it is time to reevaluate and perhaps reformation of the global currency mechanism should have been on going process. United Asian regional currency existance is compulsary to rebalance the unstable global financial economic mechanism wisely and fairly.

Like it or not, China & USA must work together now and lead the world  to kick start the economic engines for a smooth  recovery. Any hicup will worsen the current situation. Therefore, a change in the current world trading currency is no good for the economy.

Ten to twenty years downn the road....may be and who knows? Cheers!

China said they are still elementary student in capital management. They have to still buy US Bonds ....it will take a very very long time for them to unwind from US Treasuries... need not think too strategic since we are not paid to do so..

China is holding a huge pile of US$. They will not let US$ crash now as its asset will shrink. In order to divert it's risk, and capitalise on US$ to crash, they are on buying spree of world oil and oil refinery now. Even our dearest SPC is also bought over by Petro China. And their purchase is in US$. If one fine day US$ crash, China will be the one big winner.

I dun think the Chinese is willingly to back USD for too long.

Look at the spending spree of the Chinese state-owned companies, they are already buying assets from South Africa, Australia, Mexico, etc.

Speaking with the New York Times, a top Chinese economist explained why China is cutting its holdings of U.S. bonds by quoting John Maynard Keynes: “If you owe your bank manager a thousand pounds, you are at his mercy. If you owe him a million pounds, he is at your mercy.”

US$ is closed linked to Oil $$. Oil is traded in US$. If US$ crash, Oil will shoot out of the roof. And I think it's possible US$ will crash one fine day, but not overnight where people like Soros can capitalise on.
