We will see how long they will stay away. The markets live on liquadity. Without fresh money the markets will fall apart. US$ will get a bid. It seems feds are trying to defend $.

russ,

Do you see any significance to this 5-year Chinese chart at low end and the current dependence of the US on China continuing to buy our debt? It looks to me like the Chinese may have to rethink their current policy of supporting the dollar as it does NOT seem to be working for them. Would seem to me their market would not be declining if this policy were good for them.

Another thought -- this, combined with the US current policies which seem to say, "we are America, like it or not" just might result in the Chinese and then many others deciding to stop buying the US debt. How do you see this decision and its implications versus the ramifications for the Chinese if the US does not consume as many of their "things?" Thanks.

I remain,

SOROS
