The Chinese Coast Guard, now acting like a military unit, has been patrolling waters around Taiwan. This is a big deal becau
China recently did something unusual. They sold $2 billion worth of bonds in Saudi Arabia. These bonds are special because they’re paid back in U. S. dollars. This seems like a simple financial move, but analysts think there might be more to it. First, let’s talk about interest rates. China got rat
