Everyone please, stop the madness !
I don't wanna see any more posts (probably americans) with people saying saying China wants to see the USD go down.
This is outright wrong, you need to stop reading this Wall observer and go read the newspapers first.
China is the absolute #1 investor in USD. Get your facts straight.
Well, since you apparently have your facts straight, please point me to a source that verifies you claim that "China is the absolute #1 investor in USD".
They do own many billions worth of our bonds.
Yup, pretty much. It has been extremely conductive for their exporting strategy.
China is by far the largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasury securities. At the end of July, the last month for which official statistics are available, it had stockpiled $1.2773 trillion in Treasuries. The country is way in front of second-place Japan, whose portfolio was $141.9 billion smaller. If you add in the Treasuries of autonomous Hong Kong, the hoard of the People’s Republic increases by $120.0 billion.
