Default Re: Chinese worried about thier US assets

Hi Anchor,

It seems that the Chinese government is starting to show that they are a little edgy (rightly so) about the US.

Over the last few weeks they have been making comments tip toeing around trying not to make too much noise, mentioning about the UN contribution that the US apparently hasn't made and also testing the water by suggesting that they could start selling the treasury bonds that they have in hand.

If they started to sell US bonds, that would lead to a world wide catastrophy as it would trigger panic selling from all the other countries that hold them.

We could see some fireworks.

Best regards,

Steve

Repeat for emphasis:

... we are concerned about the safety of our assets.
... and ensure the safety of Chinese assets.

The Chinese don't mess around with their assets.
