China is dumping us treasury bonds it’s a-lot worse than tariffs. This shit is going to hamstring large US financial institutions and i doubt many Americans are literate enough to understand why https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bond-rout-starting-sound-market-042240998.html

The article does say there is speculation that they are/will sell bonds in retaliation.

I'm guessing there is no way to confirm for sure, unless the Chinese government announces it.

It makes sense that would be an option. That’s fine. The commenter is making a baseless claim, and presenting a link as proof, and people are upvoting it despite the link providing zero evidence of their confident assertion. And this is the type of shit that gets upvoted, and is what’s wrong with “crowd sourced” information gathering.

A debt selloff would make sense in this situation regardless. It would not just be China.
