US national debt hits $40 trillion
Original: $40 trln US debt: Gray rhino and black swan
Commentary in China Daily's global edition argues that the US national debt, now at $40 trillion, poses risks of both a 'gray rhino' — a known, ignored danger — and a 'black swan', an unforeseeable shock. The piece frames America's borrowing trajectory as a mounting threat to global financial stability.
Why now: The $40 trillion debt milestone has renewed debate about US fiscal sustainability and its global economic consequences.
