Great insights sir, thanks a lot again for sharing!

I'm trying to understand exactly how China's currency manipulation may have delivered these "booms & busts in the global economy": do you mean it is directly related to it "collecting our dollars, then offering our dollars back to us in the form of credit, so that we can buy more from China"?

I've got the 1st part of the the mechanism with China accumulating USD by exporting / selling cheap goods (in USD terms). But then isn't the USD credit / debt cycle primarily dictated by the US government fiscal policy itself? Sorry, might have missed something else there :)
