Meanwhile, some international media reports claims the dispute will allow the United States to profit because of the considerable liquidity flowing into the US from China and Japan, which could help the obstruct the rise of China’s financial sector at the international level. An opinion piece published in a foreign media outlet said that the reign of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency was the main driver behind US economic growth.
