“that Beijing is moving too slowly to reform its currency system.”

Clinton and Bush II did that annually too.

does beg the question:

With all the exposure taking place of our rulers,
how long before, heaven forbid, our rulers zap U.S.?

Oh great. First he tanks my oil stocks. Then he tanks my banking stocks. Next went my healthcare stocks. Now he’s going to tank the only decent investments I have left, Asian stocks and bonds. Idiot obama, give it up, can’t you tolerate even a shred of capitalism in this world?

Which begs another question:

Is the objective not to sell the Treasuries, but rather
crash the Treasuries?

Now would our president do that?

Not to be a fear monger, but everyone best be prepared.
Scouts law, and a humble opinion for U.S.

US threating China. Hardy, har, har. Where would our children’s #2 pencils come from? (For one.) We cain’t even threaten India having exported millions of professional jobs there. Paper Tiger wags its tail.

Heck no, they are going all the way, they will be threatened with “serious consequences”. Ask the Iranians how horrible this can turn out.

Anyhow, if the Chinese don’t comply, they will be threatened with the “comfy chair” (a la Monte Python)

I share your suspicions concerning the Zero’s real intentions.

It’s hard to believe an Inept person would do what is wrong for the economy 100% of the time.

Then it must be by design.
