More like tongue in cheek because I firmly believe there's merit behind it. I mean, hasn't that been China's takeover plan for the last 4 decades alreadu? Amazon, Walmart, and McDonald's just want a piece of the pie. It's a pretty real concern to people who are a lot smarter about global economics than I am. The buying and trading of debt is ironically lucrative.
