China threatens US with disposal of American securities

133

China’s ongoing accusations of spreading the coronavirus and Washington’s threat to cancel part of its US debt could force Beijing to retaliate with US securities. About this writes the Chinese publication South China Morning Post.

According to the newspaper, China, tired of US accusations, may sell part of the US public debt, thereby collapsing the dollar. According to reporters, Beijing is considering the option of using a "trump card in the sleeve", which at the most inopportune moment may shake the American securities market. The fact is that Washington is currently busy issuing new bonds to finance a number of programs adopted to combat coronavirus infection and its consequences, and their volume reaches 4 trillion. dollars.



There is a strong desire for countries such as China and Russia to move away from settlements in US dollars. At least in order to "disarm" the US government

said Xu Sitao, chief economist at Deloitte China.

Note that the US public debt to China is 1,1 trillion. dollars, part of which Washington is threatening to write off as a response to China’s spread of the coronavirus. But the United States itself will not do this, the newspaper writes. But China can sharply reduce the volume of investments in US securities or even sell part of the US public debt, which will lead to a sharp jump in interest rates on securities of the US Treasury.

However, according to some experts, the dumping by China of even the entire US public debt will not lead to any collapse of the dollar, since the US Federal Reserve will buy it "to the last cent." What is 1,1 trillion. US government debt, owned by China, against the background of the fact that the Fed over the past month and a half bought up government bonds by 2,5 trillion. dollars and continues to engage in such a ransom. On the other hand, the dumping of the US government debt by China may lead to a chain reaction, which cannot but affect the American economy.

    and where are the Chinese then will keep the money ???? American bonds are the most reliable and safe way to earn income - there is no alternative to them now. Fortunately or unfortunately - but it is.

      If the state needs to keep money somewhere, then it has the wrong Gosplan ... However, the capstran simply does not have it. And in a healthy person’s economy, how much is produced, how much is consumed, plus or minus bast shoes. And if we consciously produce surpluses, then we roughly imagine what we should receive in return. And this (drum roll) is not American debt with a yield of 1-3%.

        This is what you argue with socialist norms - state plans and capes of the country ........ In the economy of a healthy person, what he produced should be less than the cost of what he sold (consumed) and, as a result, profit (income) or what do you call surplus. In any country there is planning, it is called differently but it is. Any country should have cash reserves, which are formed from you said surplus. But in what form to store these surpluses is a question and at the moment there is nothing regarding the reliability of American bonds, whether you like it or not.

          Um. In general, you are right somewhere, but not quite. If you dig very deeply, then these reserves - they are in extreme cases. Historically, they were kept in the form of grain and precious metals. Of course, it is more convenient to keep them in the dollar - it is much more liquid. At any moment - if you are not an enemy of the United States - you can buy at least bread for it, even Aegis destroyer ... But here's the thing: if it’s only trouble in your country, you can buy grain for a dollar. And if really big trouble comes? I do not want to be impolite, but can you imagine how far the Chinese will send foreign shareholders and intellectual property owners? And they, in turn, where will the owners of the treasuries be sent who will try to exchange them for at least something? Though on a decommissioned barge ...
          The economy of a healthy person for a year in Siberia established the production of T-34, and the economy of a smoker cannot establish the production of medical masks in two months.
          Therefore, according to the mind, it is necessary to work to meet current needs and to develop NZ. What, of course, can not be done by creative youth: how will we be without an iPhone and eat three years ago (not expired, in any case) stew? ..
          In short, I do not see a good way out. The modern world economy does not have a margin of safety. If the cow virus doesn’t leave us, Nature has many more surprises.

                  The socialist way of life has a goal: to increase education all people on the planet, provide them with a reliable future, eradicate wars, prejudices, obscurantism and superstition, reach other planets, and save your own from greedy "startups", like that.
                  Why do they need a suitcase? Why did they fight against the USSR? How not to keep your personal p0pu warm? Is this the goal of capitalism, or something I don’t understand? .. So I have to lie to them (the capitalists) because there is not a single argument than capitalism is better, except "You have already got a gulag."

              perhaps the modern economy does not have a margin of safety, but nobody else has proposed or proved effectiveness yet.

              World history of all centuries until the 20th worked just like this different. It was focused on the production of what someone needs, and for which that person can pay with money received from the personal production of what someone needs. With such an economy, there are no exchanges or loans, and it is extremely stable. It does not give quick and gratuitous technological breakthroughs, but it also does not impose any debts on a person's "tomorrow". It goes like a train. The world would have made an iPhone anyway, just a few decades later. The only serious threat to her is crop failure. But we gradually learned to cope with this, and I do not mean GMOs, but normal farming methods, equipment in the fields, more accurate knowledge of the climate, etc. Until now, any family that does not have loans lives exactly as they have lived for centuries. But I wanted more, and immediately. And at the same time, something (apartment, house) suddenly became unattainably expensive, and the person himself went into debt. Everything would be fine, but super profits from the modern economy, to which there is "no alternative", are accumulating in the hands of a handful of billionaires.

          And here such a thing "Income" and "Profit" are two different concepts; and American debt now, a rather toxic asset, which is quietly being abandoned, and that's all; the reason for this is their stupidity and impudence

          And in general, stop these nonsense about the economy, see enough "mega-economists" on YouTube and then shine with knowledge; I emphasize in red if there are no signs of a genius-mathematician, this person cannot be an economist. For you can be a bad economist but a good mathematician, but you cannot be a good economist and a bad mathematician.

      Only this reliable method turned out to be highly dependent on the economic and market considerations of the Fed, and now also on the political blackmail of the administration and the US president personally.
      One such statement is already depreciating US government securities.
      Yes - China may sell these securities at a loss, the US will have some temporary difficulties with loans (the loan rate will jump).
      The only question is whether China will want to sell securities for US dollars - which are depreciating due to "quantitative easing".

          Paul. The way China coped with the epidemic proves that it is the country itself that can get out of difficulties. Therefore, China does not need to worry about "rainy days". Yes. a certain amount of funds is needed, but keeping them abroad is not at all necessary, there are different tools. The whole question is in the amount invested in deposits. No one argues that an airbag is needed, but that does not mean. that you need to go to sleep on it. China now has unprecedented influence in Africa. African authorities are particularly eager to cooperate with China. because China does not condition its aid on something stupid like respecting human rights. Africa is a treasure trove of rare minerals needed in high-tech - to buy up their deposits and adjust production technology - now become a ruler. But China does not want this, it contradicts its philosophy. This is what saves the fattening West.

    I don’t really follow the relations between China and the United States, but I have the impression that Donald Fredovich wants to become Nixon. On the contrary. As you know, Nixon forged relations between the United States and Chairman Mao, promising the PRC technologies and markets for Chinese goods, thanks to which China has developed economically. Today the "global" world is breaking up into "regional" worlds, not forever, of course, but according to the law of a pendulum - it is time to throw stones, time to collect stones. That is, Trump wants to "take away" some of the technologies from China again, which of course looks at least naive.

    China "quickly" got tired of massive pressure from the United States and accusations against itself, therefore, for now, through the media, it launched information about a possible disposal of American securities. It’s very interesting what other trump cards he has up his sleeve in a long-term trade war with the Americans. Some political analysts are already predicting a "cold war" between the United States and China, similar to the global confrontation between the United States and the USSR.

      70% of the US demand for rare earths is met by Chinese manufacturers. Beijing has already threatened the United States, which could limit the export of these metals.
      I think that these rattling sanctions from two sides will not end in anything. USA and PRC like Siamese twins. The PRC needs the US market, and the United States needs the flow of consumer goods from this country. Trump can only increase customs excise taxes on Chinese goods, but this will also lead to a rise in the cost of goods for the population. Return of production to the USA - prices will also soar for the products of these plants.
      But the United States needs to do something with its huge public debt, so Trump is raising this issue of sanctions with the EU and with Southeast Asia. Still, the negative balance in trade with these parts of the world threatens the main product of the United States - the dollar. Therefore, the Trump pandemic problem needs to be used to the full extent - it will write off part of the state debt under this pretext. hi

    The main thing of Russia is to climb a tree in time and watch the battle of two tigers laughing The Turkish banking regulator has banned local banks from conducting transactions in Turkish lira with three major international banks - Citigroup Inc., BNP Paribas SA and UBS Group AG - amid the depreciation of the Turkish lira to a record low against the dollar.

    The decision of the Agency for Regulation and Supervision of Banking of Turkey (BDDK) explained that the financial institutions did not fulfill their obligations on transactions in lira in a timely manner. The press release of the regulator notes that restrictions are introduced to ensure the stable functioning of the banking sector and its protection from dangerous practices.

    The lira against the US dollar on Thursday fell to a record low of 7,2692 lira for $ 1. Lira has been under serious pressure for several weeks amid growing investor doubts about the ability of the Turkish authorities to support the economy and national currency in a crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the Financial Times writes.

    According to one FT source, the BDDK solution came as a complete surprise to Citigroup, BNP Paribas, and UBS.

    On Friday, the lira adds 0,3%, the rate is 7,1408 lira / $ 1.

    The BDDK's actions "could cause enormous damage to Turkey," said Tim Ash, economist at BlueBay Asset Management.

    “I think the regulator should think very hard about what he wanted to achieve with this,” says Ash.

    According to him, blocking foreign banks from access to the country's foreign exchange market will significantly complicate transactions in lira.

    Earlier in the Turkish media there were reports that the lira depreciation was due to a coordinated attack by foreign banks, organized from London. Anadolu agency said that the Turkish authorities intend to initiate legal procedures in relation to financial institutions, according to which they may face fines or a ban on transactions.

    According to the newspaper, China, tired of US accusations, may sell part of the US public debt, thereby collapsing the dollar.
    Alas, this will not lead to anything good. The price of these securities will fall sharply and the United States will buy them "for cents" ... which will greatly help to reduce the US national debt. But this is unlikely to have a strong negative effect on the internal situation. Americans know how to divide money inside and outside the US

    In exchange for debt securities, they will receive a lot of green candy wrappers !!! This is how "victory" will be! Surely they will not pay with gold bars or anything else that is really valuable!

      Not everything is as simple as it might seem, if only because the availability of dollars instead of papers will allow the Chinese to use them to buy the same land in Ukraine if they start selling it. And it turns out that instead of greenery, the Chinese will have property and assets, but the countries in need will remain with dollars, and African countries in the first place. The liquidity of the currency itself is much higher compared to government securities in the same currency, at least from the point of view of transaction efficiency.

        China is one of the main foreign holders of US debt.
        as soon as it begins to merge quietly, their prices will fall sharply, and China will suffer no less than the United States, or even more.
        And then, due to the undervalued dollar, the competitiveness of Chinese goods will fall.

          It all depends on the speed of deliverance - we got rid of American securities worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but the collapse did not happen. Chinese economists know the rules of the game, so they won’t harm themselves.

But the wrappers will lose in price, that's for sure, it hurts a lot of mass and must immediately be printed or pulled out from the reservs!

What is $ 1,1 trillion dollars of US government debt, which is owned by China, against the background of the fact that the Fed has bought 2,5 trillion in government bonds over the past month and a half. dollars and continues to engage in such a ransom.

    The quantitative easing program has been going on since 2019.
    In connection with the epidemic situation, the Fed floods the market with cash, buying up government securities.
    On the foreign market, the value of the dollar is falling, which depreciates Chinese assets in US government securities.

    This is a "good example of the reliability" of the US national debt, which can be devalued at any time, for economic or political reasons.

    Empty rumors.
    Banknotes are not Treasury notes. And although they have some similarities, they are issued on an individual basis and are individually labeled.
    That is, the United States can at any time refuse any particular holder of this type of securities in their compliance with the goznak.
    De facto, the USA does this without saying anything, by default.
    China is forced to hold these bonds as a condition of admission to the US market and a guarantee of maintaining the interests of the United States, without which the United States will take the same guarantees by military means, simply capturing China by force.
    China is not strong enough to dictate US conditions, and he did not want to work with Russia to surpass these weaknesses.
    Although it is already obvious that if the United States makes a decision, China will starve and die, for example, the crown of the virus.
    Enough to read Karl Marx. Unfortunately, the capital managed to crush China. And ours, it seems, only dream of lying under it, from above China.

    For example, the phrase China will collapse the dollar by selling securities.
    Yulin, understand what securities are held by China? Correctly these are securities issued by the US Treasury and denominated in dollars. In other words, China will sell paper and receive American dollars for them. The question is, how will this collapse the dollar? And most importantly, how will this help China?
