China Weaponize Its $760 Billion Treasury Holdings?; Safe Haven, Bessent, LDC

Trump’s tariff U-turn exposed his core weakness. 

Beijing can easily dent  America’s safe-haven status. 

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent talked about the beauty of being the world’s biggest borrower. 

“If you take a bank loan, the bank is in charge, they can repossess whatever you borrowed against. But if you take a big enough loan, you’re kind of in charge of the bank,” he said.

In this volatile environment where anti-American, anti-bullying sentiment runs high, it won’t take much for the PBOC to smash the safe-haven status of the US dollar and bonds.
