Nice! and short! But wouldn't it be to USA's advantage to devalue USD, which will effectively reduce the debt they owe to their creditors (USB holders) as the debt owed is in terms of US dollar? This will also make China pay more USD to buy the same amount of US treasuries. At the same time, this will make US exports be cheaper in foreign markets. Other countries use their trade surplus and buy USB. If the US treasuries become cheaper, it will make more difficult to export debt by USA, right? So, China's sells USB now, cause the treasury yield (and USD) to rise. Making the US treasuries cheaper should be China's tactic right now, which will also make US exports more expensive and less competitive abroad. Maybe I am totally or partially wrong here because I'm an idiot in these kind of things. I'm just trying to get some common sense feel about it.
