So, if the Taiwanese can switch out of USD with a reserve of $325billion and play it agains Euro, YEN and AUS/CAN , why can't the chinese with 5 times that amount also move out. The Taiwanese were major buyers at two Canadian$ corporate bond auctions in Feb according RBC friend. That means they have at least a 8% gain against their currency on that trade, plus a yield of 5%, verse home market 4% or US T bills 3%.. .
