White House vs Republicans… Debt ceiling negotiations ‘bog’
Treasury balances fall below $50 billion… default countdown
China, which owns $870 billion of U.S. Treasuries, is also nervous.
China, the biggest target of the United States, is also one of the largest creditors of the United States.
China is bound to be anxious regarding whether the US will default or default, but it may not be just a bad thing.

Debt ceiling negotiations are bogged down in a tense tug-of-war between the White House and Republicans.
Treasury cash balances are bottoming out at less than $50 billion.
The default (default) deadline has entered a countdown.

China, which owns $870 billion of US Treasury bonds, has no choice but to fret.
This is because if the US defaults, it will lead to a collapse in bond values, followed by a decrease in foreign exchange reserves.
Fortunately, among the misfortunes, China, which was the largest creditor of the United States, has been in conflict with the previous Trump administration and has drastically reduced its holdings.
Instead, Japan has emerged as the largest creditor, and has now amassed $1.1 trillion.
Growing distrust of the dollar might also be an opportunity for China.
In fact, China is shaking the position of the dollar as a key currency by expanding the yuan payment network in Russia, the Middle East, and South America.

This is why China is ambiguous whether to cry or laugh at the unprecedented US default crisis.
