Dustin Hill | 2 comments Tired of the real political headlines? Check out my blog experiment: Headlines from The Chinese Banker. These are the headlines from a world where America and China have become engaged in financial warfare. I didn’t say they would be less stressful headlines, but it you like political thrillers with a touch of dystopia, please check it out. https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...
