HeartThais Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Article describes role of China in US treasury rates and their weakening appetite for US treasury debt. Also, someone had a question about how much corporate debt they are buying and it is much more significant than I thought according to the IMF report cited. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/299e404c-011b-11de-8f6e-000077b07658.html I think what this means though is that to issue more treasuries, we'll have to raise rates.

drogon Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks for the article....Por US sold their souls to the Chinese...(and their asses too maybe) The good point is (in the short term), China can't "sink" the US without shooting itself in the foot...
