I remember reading an article about the Federal Reserve studying the impact of China dumping US treasuries. The conclusion was the US treasury market was “deep” and could handle such selling.

In the short term, China selling would drive Treasuries lower and yields higher. But it wouldn’t last. In fact, such a scenario may prevent the Federal Reserve from raising rates 3 more times this year as some economists predict (because of GDP growth and low unemployment).
