218 IT'S OVER: China Just Sold All US Debt What They Aren't Telling You

from SignsWatch ⦿ Seeing the Signs ⦿ and making sense of the Times

29 Jan 2026China, the largest holder of US debt, is selling off its holdings, causing a potential collapse of the US bond market. This move, coupled with the trade war and semiconductor sanctions, could lead to skyrocketing interest rates and a severe economic downturn in the US, impacting everything from mortgages to the overall standard of living. The situation is further complicated by China’s strategic shift towards buying gold, a tangible asset, instead of US debt.The bond market is experiencing a significant shift, with China selling $850 billion in bonds, causing interest rates to rise. This, coupled with the depletion of the reverse repo facility, a crucial liquidity buffer, is putting immense pressure on the US banking system. The situation is further exacerbated by the decline of the petrodollar system, as China and other countries increasingly trade oil in yuan, reducing global demand for the US dollar.China is attacking the US dollar from both the supply and demand sides, causing a liquidity trap and potential bond market freeze. This could lead to hyperinflation or a great depression, with the US government’s spending and reliance on foreign debt at the core of the problem. The author warns of a looming economic crisis and suggests preparing for a currency collapse by investing in specific assets.The US dollar is facing a crisis as central banks, led by China, are buying gold and other hard assets, signalling a shift away from the dollar. This is due to concerns about inflation, rising interest rates, and the potential for a global economic downturn. The author advises viewers to prepare for this transition by investing in tangible assets like gold, farmland, and energy resources, rather than relying on paper money and speculative investments.
