China could use their $1.168 trillion of US Treasury bonds they still hold to pay off 39% of their US Dollar denominated debt.

Of course China would take a loss on these US Treasury bonds by not holding to maturity, but needs must.

Only last month China sold-off $3 billion of US Treasury bonds at a huge loss to raise US Dollars.
.

The remaining $1.832 trillion US Dollars China owes will be far harder to come by, and far more costly with a falling Yuan.

But don't imagine it's US banks left holding the bag . . . Most US Dollar loans to China have been extended by UK based HSBC.
