Hypothetically which county in China offers the best social safety net?

They barely contributed anything... they also were Israel's number one trading partner by 2 way trade. They picked a side, just not the side you seem to think they should

Compare gold to the other elements on the periodic table as a medium to store value and you'll see why it is used for this task.

It is non toxic, it can be easily held and transported, it is non reactive (it won't rust or combust), it is relatively rare, it is dense (a lot of gold fills a small space) and, well like others have said, it's shiny. It can be easily moulded and forgotten about for millennia and still be the same way it was last used (look at Viking hordes as an example) few other things can do this, maybe diamonds? But they can not be recombined again like gold

It seems like the US is prepared to cede foreign policy in that region to who ever has the biggest stick. Trump is already losing influence and it doesn't look like any one else on the right has the ability to hold the MAGA movement together? Maybe MGT?
