Thanks for the explanation. I see your point: &quot;Taking money from the future.&quot; is a figurative term for &quot;Promising money to someone at a future point of time.&quot;<p>Another thing is unclear now:<p>&gt; China allows the Yuan to &quot;inflate&quot; to 10x its current value, and then services the debt with this inflated value.<p>What do you mean with &quot;allow to inflate&quot;?<p>Inflation is growth of the amount of money == new debt needs to be created. How is this done? Who takes on new debt?
