I think that the Brad Setser article on sterilization is a very important read.

This is just another tidbit:

rgemonitor.com
"... The central bank would be left with a stock pile of government bonds, which it would then likely sell in the ongoing sterilization process; selling government bonds for cash is an option to issuing new central bank debt and selling that debt cash. And the government would be left with a bunch of RMB debt and a bunch of foreign exchange, which it would give to a new investment authority.

The creation of such an investment authority by China – or, for that matter by the Saudis – would likely indicate a desire to diversify. Into equities to be sure. But I would be surprised if the US share of the investment authorities assets would be as high as the dollar share of the PBoC’s – and SAMA’s – reserves. ..."
