An increase in bond yields will expose broke-ass financial systems that have lived under the rug of QE for a long time.

Imagine this:

The US was incapable of raising those yields by themselves. They needed some big bag holders to cooperate.

They created a phony trade war with China to do the deed. But why? Who would China and the US cooperate against to expose their broke-ass-ness and leave buried in the jail of bankruptcy while the 2 powers build the new order?

Any guesses?
