Will China ever dump US bonds?- My POV

I have seen @US_statedept_retired refer to the Bangladeshi members here as "Jamatis".

That is pure South Asian political slang (and offensive slang at that), not something an American state department official would use, or even understand.

In fact I doubt any non-South Asian would have heard of this word, let alone use it against someone in that context.

I've been here for years, and I barely know what it means, only that it is a South Asian insult mostly directed at Bangladeshi members.

Jamaati - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. How can I claim having worked this region without having a clue about the players in the region? Unlike you playing a think tank with a webcam fetish on the internet- I'm a member of several in real life.

Like the pro chinese party had in the last election in Taiwan?

lol, "pro-Chinese party", spoken like a true stooge. The pro-Chinese party chose to let the DPP exist, and they are positioned to revoke that privilege if the US continues to attack Chinese interests and force the KMT and CPP to form a united front in the South China Sea. How stupid can US foreign policy get?

Your support of Abe has almost cost you South Korea in a short two years, by the way.

Look at my country flag, US_statedept_retard. Are you implying the US is meddling in internal Taiwanese affairs?

I am appalled to see so many folks almost universally agreeing to how ludicrous the threat of dumping US bills are.

The threat of China dumping the dollar is ludicrous only because of how the debt is structured. You have no leverage over what China does, and you're going to get a hard kick to the balls if you ever cross the CCP's lines. This is why you held your vaginas when China retook her land near the Philippines.

Setting aside the fact that the Chinese have been actually buying more of our treasury's for sometime vs. at times liquidating small amounts of it. They are too vested in our bonds economically speaking, in trying to dump it.

The only thing that makes you slightly credible here is your really poor grasp of economics, a sure marker of someone who works in US foreign service.

They won't want to see the U.S., Japanese and EU markets slow to a grind. You don't go about killing a large portion of your global consumer base and think it would help

Econ 101: people are more likely to buy cheap in a downturn. So you don't think Chinese exports to these markets are cheap?

Selling Treasury's would reduce the value of the yuan, something China can't afford. Both countries need each other in this regard. What's worse, should it happen- it will forever make the Chinese 'persona non grata' among the 90% of the developed world.

What? It would increase the value of the yuan. Aren't you all going on and on about how nominal is the end-all-be-all of metrics? Yes, if China dumps the dollar without reason they will take a lot of flak for it. If China dumps in response to US adventurism (like Iraq) or aggression against China, the world will do nothing (90%) or actually bandwagon with China (10%)

LOL of course a strong Yuan is in China's best interest.

Right now we are a net exporter but as our economy transitions into maturity of course we prefer to spend more than we earn by being a net importer.

That is when we dump the US treasuries and destroy the US economy. Don't worry though USA can still sell us their raw materials in exchange for RMB.
