The US trade deficit with Japan has grown not shrunk. Japan's trade deficit with other countries besides the US has shrunk.

US with Japan:
2004: 75.2 billion
2005: 82.7

US with China:
2004: 162.0
2005: 201.6

US with Saudi Arabia:
2005: 20.4

The petrodollar deficits are small relatively speaking, suggesting that Asians are still the sloppy buyers of US debt securities? China seems to be the key player.

The FCB's can print their domestic currencies and convert them to dollars in the foreign exchange markets.

I really don't think the FCB's care about market losses on their U.S. bonds. It's all about maintaining a desired exchange rate to support their domestic economies.
