You lost me. They're already selling T-bonds, just not all of them (yet). I'm not suggesting they will but the likelihood is increasing. This was written a few hours ago.

"Trump’s tariffs and trade war tensions are straining relations and many countries are dumping their U.S. bonds. The Russians, Chinese, Japanese and others are selling their bonds, and concerns are growing that if the trade war continues to escalate it could lead to a global boycott of U.S. Treasury bonds.

>That way they are "dumping" their dollars<
why would they dump USD during trade war?
They would want USD to be stronger not weaker to make US exports more expensive in other countries as well as in China.

Selling USB (rising yield and rising USD) would have opposite effect from selling USD in this sense. So, China would dump USB, not USD.
