"Only way they can sell it is if the Fed is going to buy." China holds a little over 1 trillion of our debt. treasury.gov If they put it on the market in an auction, the Fed may HAVE to buy it ( with gold? other foreign currencies? ) to keep it's value up. It would be terrible if there were no bidders..

In any event one wouldn't expect China to telegraph it. Still the dollar is falling and gold is following it and inflation is a worldwide problem. I have a theory based on worldwide population demand and the equalization of consumption. The US, heretofore, has been 4% of the worlds population consuming 25% of the worlds goods and services. Now with the US pumping out trillions of dollars the rest of the world has money to consume like us. There is no way 7 billion people can consume like we have been without exhausting all food and resources and polluting the world - which is happening.
