I'm not sure I understand the question: isn't it the case that in geopolitics generally everybody owes to everybody and everybody is lending to everybody? I don't think that's a good way to measure the economic prosperity of a country.
I didn't ask for understanding, I asked for an answer.

I'm not arguing that their debt means anything, because I don't even know what it's like in the first place. I'm just curious, because Blanco seems pretty certain that we are the undisputed pokemon (I prefer that word over hegemon), and I was just wondering if the other prospective pokemon were in such heavy debt as we are (I don't belive they are).

Especially since China is now open to a "controlled" ( cannot stress the quotation marks more ) free market, the concepts of debt and profit complicate more
I agree, but in whose favor do things complicate?
