The Chinese can’t stop buying our bonds unless they decide to stop selling things to us. It’s an empty threat from a country that doesn’t have its own bond market.

In response to your post, and the other poster who said that their construction projects amount to worthless " Ghost Cities " .......
Well, they got to keep those factories going to sell us good from their imports to keep their fiscal and economic house running.... no, WAIT ! .. there was a major wave of factory closings in China last year, and this year, yes, they are also in deep, doo doo... in other words ? they have no choice but to buy our worthless bonds ( that is ? up to a certain point ) .. and then what ? War ? total world wide economic collapse and then war ? .....
Does anyone get the thought ? vision ? of when Jack and Rose was at the stern of the Titanic and he told Rose, that, this is it, hold on ? and the Titanic was on it's final plunge into the ocean.

The Chinese cant stop buying our bonds unless they decide to stop selling things to us. Instead of buying our government bonds they could start buying our stuff, like paying for their bootleg copies of pharmaceuticals, movies, video games, Microsoft operating systems. The government let the trade imbalance go to hell because the Chinese were funding socialist spending when they should have been trading products with us. True trade is a two way street.
