China Sell-off 39% of US treasury: What's going on?

The U.S. government continues to view Treasury securities as reliable and secure investments, especially during times of economic uncertainty. However, concerns are growing over the nation's expanding debt, which reached about $32.6 trillion by August 2024. Critics warn that this rising debt could pose long-term risks to the economy, potentially leading to inflation and higher borrowing costs.

Another key issue of the US economy is the U.S.'s dependence on foreign investment to help fund its debt. As of August 2024, China remains the second largest foreign holder of U.S. debt. However China has significantly dropped its holding to approximately $770 billion, a 39% decline compared to less than a decade ago. This shift is tied to broader geopolitical and economic changes, raising concerns about the stability of foreign funding and its potential effects on U.S. economic policy.

This video explores the impact of China's decisions on the U.S. economy, analyzing both historical and current perspectives. It also examines how the outcome of the U.S. election could potentially influence China's approach to its U.S. Treasury holdings.

Who actually can stand Janet Yellen yellin this and that telling people what to do *as if* the US is the largest non-genocidal economy in the world?

I love the way China is playing the US and Europe like a fiddle economically. The west in their desperation, and most importantly, the dull and ego driven psychopathic sickness of we are never wrong and will never admit mistakes, is making all time level mistakes across the board. Of course they are screwed whatever they do, but for them saving their egos is the most important thing. lol

China dont need us treasury bonds, better stock in gold n other precious metals. Likewise invest in China own infrastructures n defense capabilities.😊😊😊

With a growing national debt of $35 trillion, a fiat U.S. currency not backed by gold, and continuing to engage in conflicts, no one will want to hold on to their U.S. treasury bonds or have further investments. It is a risk management. What China has done is a prudent investor's decision. 👋👋👋

When you named a country as top adversary, do you expect it to hold your debts ? Especially when you have a track record of freezing money from other countries.

34 trillion in debt, I'd get my money out quick, I've heard it's actually 67 trillion in debt.

[mansorosir]

it is not safe to save money in USD, they can sanction and confiscate their money.

[htleong]

USA debt is approx 35T and increasing everyday

[lawrencechong]

Sell more or all before it becomes toilet paper too thick for toilet usage too.

[hankogle]

Basically the American dollar is just paper at this point. People just haven’t come to terms with that yet
