Some idea of the scope and scale of the New Silk Road project.
Engdahl is a decent geopolitical analyst, but he is way out of paradigm with MMT in his understanding of the monetary system.

China constitutes ~20% of the world's population. It's a simple question to ask whether 20% of the human population can realistically expect to keep a positive export balance with the rest of the world.
Seems unlikely ... unless they voluntarily submit to a strategy of keeping themselves very poor (or seriously reduce their own population).
Regardless of all the details, and the endless degrees of freedom, Germany on a Chinese scale just doesn't seem very sustainable.
The chinese are already in the process of rebalancing. An emerging economy should have a preponderance of investment in the growth stage and then level out in the developed stage, indeally approaching about 80% consumption and 20 investment. China is now in the transition stage.
