Welcome to Asian QuickTake, the world affairs and international relations channel. Join Jacob as he delves into the latest news and technological advancements shaping our global landscape. In this episode, we explore the alarming figures surrounding the U.S. national debt. On June 28, the U.S. National Debt Clock revealed a staggering $32.1 trillion debt, but the actual figure, as reported by Real National Financial Data, exceeds $157 trillion. This growing debt poses a significant financial threat to the U.S. economy, especially with the continuous extension of the debt ceiling. As the U.S. federal debt doubles every eight years, projections suggest that it could reach $65 trillion by the early 2030s, accompanied by skyrocketing interest payments. Renowned economists like Peter Schiff and Jim Rogers warn of the consequences of this massive debt burden, emphasizing the urgency to address the situation. Furthermore, the U.S. banking industry faces turmoil due to aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. The collapse of prominent banks, such as Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank, triggered a banking crisis. Withdrawals from U.S. banks by global investors and the loss of confidence in the U.S. dollar and Treasuries are further indications of the deep-rooted issues within the system. To combat this, various states, including North Carolina, are exploring the establishment of independent state gold reserve banks. With six states already recognizing gold and silver as legal tender, North Carolina's initiative undermines the dollar's reserve status and sets the stage for monetary independence. The movement away from the dollar is not confined to individual states. Countries worldwide, such as Germany, Australia, and France, are repatriating their gold reserves, recognizing their significance in replacing the dollar and U.S. Treasuries. BRICS nations are even developing new currencies backed by gold or rare earth resources, gradually moving away from the petrodollar system. China, the second-largest holder of U.S. Treasuries, has been steadily reducing its holdings while simultaneously increasing its gold reserves. With China's growing interest in gold, it is clear that more gold imports are likely to occur in the coming months. Although proposals have been made for the U.S. Treasury to prioritize repayment of its debts, including those owed to China, using its gold reserves, this is unlikely to materialize until January 1, 2025, due to the extended debt ceiling. Consequently, the U.S. will continue to borrow new debts to repay its existing obligations. Thank you for watching this video.
