China bailing out Obama’s GM union pensions 3 months before the election. There’s another 50,000 votes in swing states and $25 million campaign donations from thankful UAW officials.

So China will buy the quality (but not mature) 10 year bonds the GM pension funds holds,...at a discount because the fund needs cash?

My guess is that the early buy outs and other gimmicks apply only to white collar / non union employees - those which involve a contract between employer and employee.

Sounds like this sale involves the union slugs' account - based on a contract between the employer and the union.

In the first instance the employer wins (happened to me) but, in the second instance, replacing "employer" with "investor" might be interesting.

China must be pretty damned certain that the US government will bail the GM pensioners out. Unfortunately, they’re probably right so there’s almost zero risk for them.
