Why China Is Now Riskier Than the U.S. Dollar System

Show Notes

In this clip, Matthew revisits his global money supply charts to unpack a striking shift in monetary behavior—China is now more leveraged than the U.S., Europe, or Japan. Using broad money (M3/M2) vs. base money comparisons, he illustrates how the money multiplier has collapsed in Western economies due to financial repression, but is growing in China. This reversal means that Communist China, historically conservative in its monetary transmission, is now exhibiting riskier behavior than the top capitalist currencies. Matthew explains how China went from having just 2–3 yuan of banking liquidity per unit of central bank base money to leading the pack in risk.
