Fundamentally, yes, totally in hock to China and the Gulf States.
However international finance is just a giant confidence trick, and the
world still has confidence in what is, after all, the planet's biggest
economy.

In a generation's time it will be a very different world, but like the
Roman empire at the end of the 4th century, the US still looks like it's
(just) on top.
