If China dares to touch USA, the world will surely converge on China and bring China back to stone age.

If United States of Good, Moderate and Acceptable Terrorists touches China surely the Terrorists States will be turned into radioactives ashes

Those waiting for a China-USA conflict may have to wait a long time. Don't forget that China already holds plenty of US debt & I doubt that the chinese can afford to give up all that $$$..$$ because they are still a 3rd world country.

If China touch Sillypore, nobody cares, including those countries PAP have been trying to woes and sign pact with. The only sinkies PAP can count on, but betrayed by PAP on jobs and many areas of our lives, will run road first. I will swim to Malaysia and hide somewhere in the jungle. Survival more important than protecting PAP and its cronies.

please lor... the FAP will run and hide LoooOOOOOoooog even before you step into any available sampan.

There has never been a war between 2 nuclear powers and it will unlikely happen. Right now every war mongering is just political posturing than actual preparation for war. As we are talking about war between china and USA, chinese navy is now participating in Ex RIMPAC hosted by US navy. This wouldn't be possible for 2 countries going on a war path.

The kids of Politburo members and the Chinese Army are studying in the US. And some of them have gained residence and running their own businesses. All this posturing is just that. Part of building nationalism, to get a share of the budget, etc.

While you guys are sharing your views, papas and mamas will drop their leadership hats and head to the US to meet their kids and tour the country.

china has 3 trillion in foreign reserves dont worry,their top 3 banks combined have over 7 trillion in assets.china will simply dump all their US treasuries on the market and turn US paper into confetti.when the world sees china is dumping all their US debt,there will be a stampede to sell.Not even the Federal reserve can print their way out of this.

Devaluation Stunner: China Has Dumped $100 Billion In Treasurys In The Past Two Weeks

On August 11, China devalued its currency, and in the subsequent 3 days the onshore Yuan, the CNY, tumbled by some 4% against the dollar. Then, as if by magic, the CNY stabilized when China started intervening massively, only this time not through the fixing, but in the actual FX market.

This means that while China has previously been dumping reserves as a matter of FX policy, after August 11 it was intervening directly in the FX market, with the intervention said to really pick up after the FOMC Minutes on August 19, the same day the market finally topped out, and has tumbled into a correction since then. The result was the same: massive FX reserve liquidations to defend the currency one way or the other.

And yet something curious emerges when comparing the traditionally tight, and inverse, relationship between the S&P and the Treausry long-end: the drop in yields has not been anywhere near as profound as the tumble in stocks. In fact, the 30 Year is wider now than where it was the day China announced the Yuan devaluation.

Why is that?

We hinted at the answer on two occasions earlier (here and here) and yet the point is so critical, and was missed by virtually all readers, that it deserves to be repeated once again: as part of China's devaluation and subsequent attempts to contain said devaluation, it has been purging foreign reserves at an epic pace. Said otherwise, China has sold an epic amount of Treasurys in the past two weeks.

How epic? We turn it over to SocGen once again:

The PBoC cut the RRR for all banks by 50bp and offered additional reductions for leasing companies (300bp) and rural banks (50bp). All these will take effect as of 6 September, and the total amount of liquidity injected will be close to CNY700bn, or $106bn based on today's onshore exchange rate. In perspective, the PBoC may have sold more official FX reserves than this amount since the currency regime change on 11 August.
There you have it: in the past two weeks alone China has sold a gargantuan $106 (or more) billion in US paper just as a result of the change in the currency regime!

But wait, there's more: recall that one months ago we posted that "China's Record Dumping Of US Treasuries Leaves Goldman Speechless" in which we reported that China has sold some $107 billion in Treasurys since the start of 2015.

When we did that article, we too were quite shocked at that number. However, we - just like Goldman - are absolutely speechless to find out that China has sold as much in Treasurys in the past 2 weeks, over $100 billion, as it has sold in the entire first half of the year!

In retrospect, it is absolutely amazing that the 10 and 30 Year Bonds have cratered considering the amount of concentrated selling by China.

But the bigger question is how much more does China have left to sell, if this pace of outflows continues. Here is SocGen again:

From an operational perspective, China's FX reserves are estimated to be two-thirds made up of relatively liquid assets. According to TIC data, China held $1,271bn US treasuries end-June 2015, but treasury bills and notes accounted for only $3.1bn. The currency composition is said to be similar to the IMF's COFER data: 2/3 USD, 1/5 EUR and 5% each of GBP and JPY. Given that EUR and JPY depreciation contributed the most to the RMB's NEER appreciation in the past year, it is plausible that
the PBoC may not limit its intervention to selling only USD-denominated assets.

* * *

China's FX reserves are still 134% of the recommended level, or in other words, around $900bn (1/4 of total) and can be used for currency intervention without severely impacting China's external position.
Should the current pace of liquidity outflows continue, and require the dumping of $100 billion in FX reserves, read US Treasurys, every two weeks this means China has, oh, call it some 18 weeks of intervention left.

What happens when China liquidates all of its Treasury holdings is anyone's guess, and an even better question is will anyone else decide to join China as its sells US Treasurys at a never before seen pace, and best of all: will the Fed just sit there and watch as the biggest offshore holder of US Treasurys liquidates its entire inventory...

China has plenty of corruption. When it comes to the end of one regime, another corrupt one will take over. Many of these corrupt officials try to run to the 1st world. So if any regime tries to burn their bridges with the west they will not have anywhere to run to.

So it is unlikely that they want to upset the status quo in the world economy when they hold so much of the US$. Don't forget that if there is a panic in the world's economy China will also suffer.

u are talking about a tiny subset of the population,i believe 95 percent of chinese millionaires and billionaires who made their money legitimately and living all over the world.yes there will always be a handful of crooks but u cant get them all.

Singapore has tons of corruption too and we are the richest country in the world.dont worry we chinese are financially astute and business savvy,there may be some corruption involved but we will not kill the goose that lays the golden egg.we are not inept incompetent bumbling morons like some african dictator or those brown skinned idiots up north in malaysia,indonesia,Philippines.we are born entrepreneurs and businessmen.we take short cuts here and there but we build enterprises and empires.
