Russia , Afghanistan and Middle East ( Saudi , UAE etc etc ) are the main obstacle for Belt and Road. The Sea route is pretty much controlled by the US. From the Taiwan Straits ( previously ) , Straits of Malacca, South Indian Ocean ( Diego Garcia ) all the way up to the Suez.
Basically with all these foreign policy and American Adventurism in the Middle East , and now Ukraine. You open up the land doorway for China for Belt and Road.

Putin refused Chinese " investment and infrastructure " influence in Central Asia until last year.




They increased US Treasuries after a sell off late last year this January.

Another seller of US Treasury is the UK.

That's simply not true. Unless you predict the US will default on its debt?

Just a couple of points that describe the status quo,
"A country like China, which saves more than it invests domestically, is typically an international lender.
To avoid inflation, the Chinese central bank removes this incoming foreign currency by purchasing foreign assets"

"The biggest effect of a broad scale dump of US Treasuries by China would be that China would actually export fewer goods to the United States."

Dumping US bonds would damage China much more than it would damage the US. US bonds are desirable commodities, and will remain so; They would be purchased by someone else.

Especially because if China drops 1 trillion dollars of bonds on the market, the price of those would be less than what China paid.

What do you think will happen if China decides to do reunification in 2030.

If US Bonds is so desirable at the moment.

Why did Yellen bugged Yi Gang ( China's previous Central Bank czar ) to buy more and not to sell off
Why did Yellen meet up with Liu He in Davos even though she is not supposed to be there to talk about US debt selling.
And now Blinken to Wang Yi in Munich.

Just let the Chinese do what they want and others will come in and buy. No big deal.. Screw the Chinese if they want to sell.

Ah I see, makes sense looking at a map.


And regarding Japan, seems somewhat coincidental that they had a sudden change in leadership after selling off US treasuries

The US dollar will still be the global currency, and will continue to be for all of our lifetimes.

One of the biggest negative side effects for the US of this war coupled with the Covid era money printing is the unprecedented damage we've done to the dollar. Countries all over the globe are diversifying away from the dollar. The enemies and those that maybe fear us are diversifying away because it's obvious we are willing to use the dollar as an economic battering ram, so naturally countries like China will reduce their US treasury purchases.

What's more interesting though is how some of our top friends are responding.

Japan has it's internal issues, trying their hardest to maintain yield curve control and not have the Yen collapse, so that's the primary reason they are rolling off our treasuries which is different compared to China but the effects are the same, less demand for US debt. That trend has somewhat reversed recently as our yields are becoming attractive but IMO going forward, don't think foreign countries will be piling on to gobble our debt as before.

Personally i think what's happening with the money is a much truer compass to piece together global events.

I am not talking about the US Dollar.

What do you think will happen to China if she does reunification.
What will happen to Chinese overseas asset, civilian or government.
And her US Treasuries, bonds etc etc



Thank you, Yes a lot of dudes in the Mid East is also trying to diversify away from the dollar. Too risky.....
Saudi will try really hard..

What?

Sound more like people are pissed that the govt doesn't have a statute of limitations for tax fraud and avoidance.

If I lie on my taxes, the CRA here in Canada they will order me to pay it back with interest and a fine. It's just a normal thing that countries do lol.
