"I must have been asked about that a hundred times in China. I was asked at every single meeting about our purchases of Treasuries. That seemed to be the principal preoccupation of those that were invested with their surpluses mostly in the United States," he told the Wall Street Journal.

Don’t worry. When the SHTF, the Chinese will simply be given large chunks of the land of the USSA.

What does them printing money have to do with anything? We aren’t buying their fake money, they are buying ours. It’s a lecture by them on principles.

Apparently, obama is too far left for the Communist Chinese government. I suspected as much a year ago but didn’t expect China to notice so quickly. Unlike obama, they must want to survive.

The ChiComs are afraid of two things here...

The Feds printing money just to buy our own treasuries which drives the rate that those treasuries pay down sharply.

The hyper inflation that is a likely result of this form of quantitative easing.

It's a fair question. It's a damned shame that we need to get lectures from the Chinese Communists about fiscal responsibility...and they're right!

Mr Fisher, the Fed's leading hawk, was a fierce opponent of the original decision to buy Treasury debt, fearing that it would lead to a blurring of the line between fiscal and monetary policy – and could all too easily degenerate into Argentine-style financing of uncontrolled spending.

Too late. We're already there! Don't cry for me Argentina!

Shhhh...don’t tell anyone, but a very good case can be made that China has a fascist government. BTW, Actually printing money is sooooo last century, it’s all done electronically now.

They should talk. Haven’t they been pumping counterfeit dollars into the mix for years?

A $99 Trillion commitment?!! That is so utterly amazing and would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic. I’m already planning on working well past 62. That $99 Trillion just isn’t going to be there.
