What he's reffering to is that China cannot run an export model without buying a reserve currency (US "debt") to keep their currency low.

It's circular.

"For thousands of miles and over two days in April, 59 workers from Mexico traveled together on a bus despite the pandemic to their legal, seasonal jobs as crabmeat pickers and seafood processors in Maryland’s rural islands.
Lindy’s Seafood, the wholesale company that hired the workers, paid for their cross-country trip. The company put them to work the day after they arrived without quarantining or waiting for covid test results. Those safeguards are not required under state or federal law."
