China sold a record $53.3 billion of US Treasury and agency bonds in the first quarter of 2024, likely due to escalating trade tensions and a desire to diversify its assets. This move is raising concerns as China is a major holder of US debt and its actions could impact the US economy. Additionally, China has been increasing its gold reserves, potentially as a way to mitigate sanctions risk.
That really puts it in perspective. That’s why their viewpoint and the narratives they push about the “booming economy” are so divorced from reality. They don’t live in the same reality as us.
