3 MINS AGO: China DUMPED $113 Billion in U.S. Debt… What’s Going On?
By BlowMe AI
In the months leading up to Trump’s victory, Japan and China made headlines by offloading $113 billion in US Treasury securities. This dramatic sell-off has raised concerns about its economic implications and geopolitical motivations. From China’s yuan defense strategy to Japan’s domestic financial needs, we break down the reasons behind this unprecedented move.
Here’s what others had to say:

Both China and Japan are doing the right thing, reducing the currency yoke put on them. Forget the other BS about democratisation.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that foreign countries are dumping US bonds. If the U.S. keeps “printing money” or issuing debt, at some point the money will become less valuable. It is the basic economic law of supply and demand and its impact on price and value. As of September 30, 2024, the US debt to GDP ratio was 123%. This is because the US debt for fiscal year 2024 was $35.46 trillion, while the average GDP was $28.82 trillion.
The debt-to-GDP ratio is a percentage that compares a country’s public debt to its annual economic output. It’s a common economic metric used to assess a country’s ability to repay its debt. A higher debt-to-GDP ratio usually means it will be more difficult for the government to repay its debt.

Human rights are mentioned in this video? Which country in the world has lifted nearly half a billion people out of poverty in such a short period of time as the People’s Republic of China???
@GalileonPrime
The US conquered Japan and forcefully grafted its cultural values on them.
@TheVikingish
USA need to go seriously on the nose, letting go of its sweaty hand from other nations.
@akbarmohammed4eva
You totally left out the 80’s & 90’s when USA trade war on Japan totally destroyed their economy.
@JaneStites
Quite frankly I think elevator and instrumental music should be played in retail and groceries stories if ya wanna lift up people vibrations instead of all this endless demonic crap that’s shoved down everyone’s throats.

No point investing in something that is trying to stab you in the back.
@burpium1767
Europe’s economy got destroyed after invasion on Ukraine (which is essentially you, US, who started and let it escalated to such conflict), Middle east countries slowly turning away due Israel’s vicious ambition (Israel is simply the darling of US), and then you pushed China away with sanctions and tariff.
So, are there any other regions who are able and willing to dump money back to you? No. Hence, tariff is a way to change the situation, or so what you expected it to help your situation.

Population decline = less students with more options. A shift in sentiment coupled with a crowded market creates a classic supply/demand pressure. Now queue is the transitions at the Department of Education that are anticipated and the impact to student loans. Lots of discomfort ahead.
