China always keeps its currency as low as possible for export reasons which make it more competitive

China should have dumped US debts like 10-12 years ago and started buying gold way beyond. It helps if China's central bank and military are not manned by chiefs with families living in the US.

Another misleading vid
$21 billion is nothing. The US borrows trillions USD per year.
The reality is the yuan is under immense pressure. China suffers economic slowdown, massive capital flight, enormous mistrust, decoupling from the western markets, decoupling from technology. China records the first ever capital deficit since 25y.
The US interest rates is much higher investments go to the US.
Ccp sells US holdings to support its currency.

Why hasn't China dumped more and long before ? China should be holding zero US bonds now unless the Chinese gov officials and bankers that make decisions are being held hostage by CIA.

 

[ProudThamizhan]

Only $21B out of close to $1T that CCP holds? That is not dumping, just CCP taking some cash to buy food or build another concentration camp or whatever

Then why put the dollar out in the market? You realise by buying back RMB the currency actually strengthens against the dollar. Your response doesn't make sense with the article. If dollar dumping was the aim, what are you buying with $21 billion? Gold? No, it's RMB.

They are de coupling its pretty obvious. China sees US having demographic crisis with white minority population by 2040s and leftist/woke/liberal/hispanic-blacks taking over the country where US dollar will lose its worth. China wants to de couple from America and use that money on anything from investments in Africa to putting into R&D research. China believes US is turning into Brazil demographically and economically because hispanics-black majority + woke leftists with feminism degrees won't contribute much to the economy therefore China wants to pull the plug and invest that money where it can be of use since China doesn't owe America anything

Actually, China is dumping because the US decided to initiate hostilities against China since the trade war and especially since the sanctions on Russia, China would be stupid to keep holding on to US debt. So like it usually does, China is doing a gradual dump of US treasuries so as not to seem alarming but their holdings have significantly declined since several years ago. China is also boosting the use of the Yuan in global trade and will probably continue dumping the dollar as it decouples. This will most likely contribute to increased inflation in the US in the future not that inflation isn't already horrible.

As far as the demographic changes, that will take decades and that is not an influence on China's current decision making, which is an immediate response to US attempts to contain it. However in the future when the US becomes majority minority, it will probably be in a position to solidify a long term agreement on mutual existence with China. By then China will probably have become the more powerful country so that argument would be null by that time.

I said de coupling multiple times and there are many reasons for that and China reduced its once massive US holdings because of various factors including the fact that US debt is 35trillion and growing and that US is becoming hispanic-bl;ack country (Like Brazil) that cares mostly about trannys and feminists with pink hair than anything else.

China cares about demographics the most, its obvious when Chinese ministry members come to Australia for formal debates and laugh at Germany and its changing DNA because they accept millions of syrians who are different from them

You are way overstating the influence that demographic shifts are having on Chinese policy. IMO, they have very little influence on how China is orienting its current policies against the US. The primary influences on Chinese policy vis a vis the US are American attempts to contain China.
