This, and $700b in dollar-denominated debt owed by Chinese corporations, is why China is unlikely to let the yuan depreciate much. Borrowing in dollars means paying low interest rates. But it also means taking on currency risk - if the dollar appreciates against the local currency, making interest payments becomes increasingly burdensome, since the company's local profits buy fewer dollars.

It will just put downward pressure on Treasury bonds, all without the Fed doing anything.
Another Pres. Trump win!

This may be true, but the Fed will screw things up by raising the rates.
