This is a new fact for me. I didn't know China owes us a $trillion for bonds.

So what are the odds Trump/Vance can collect what is owed from China?

We still have about $757b of bonds held by China, can they be used as repayment?

A broken clock is right twice a day. When China started buying tons of gold, the price of gold went crazy.

How long will they be buying?

Until they dump all US bonds?

It probably goes back to China being charged for the Opium wars.

Meh, just another chi-com manipulation.

 

[Woodznutz]

If China is dumping bonds in order to buy gold they are selling them below face value and taking a huge loss. This will be a windfall for those who buy up those bonds and hold them to maturity.

The OP link is wrong.

 

[Concerned American]

I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how they came up with the idea that bond holders OWE anything. They are the creditors not the debtors.

China issued bonds in the early 1900s and stopped paying after the commies took over.

It takes really bad math, like AOC level bad math, to say they owe $1 trillion or more.

From the first article in the OP.

The roots of the debt tussle trace back to the early 20th century when the Republic of China, pre-dating the PRC, rolled out significant volumes of sovereign gold-denominated bonds. These long-term bonds, secured by Chinese tax revenues, were designed to fund infrastructure development and various governmental programs. The debt obligations remained unsettled after the establishment of the PRC in 1949, sparking the ongoing dispute.
