I agree 100%. Are we therefore right to believe that US treasuries pose no "huge problem" to China ? Or to any other counry, for that matter.

I believe that every country's foreign currency reserves are denominated in US dollars. That is the convention. But that doesn't imply that all currency reserves are US dollars. Countries are free to trade their foreign currencies, thus managing their exposure to any single currency. That's what establishes exchange rates.

If this surmise is incorrect, would someone please correct me ?
