China is replacing its US Treasury holdings with GOLD

February 10, 2023 -

Since 2008, the communist nation has been one of the largest foreign holders of U.S. Treasuries. It started selling off its U.S. Treasuries slowly in 2018, right around the same time when the country started buying more gold.

The reason for the accelerated sell-off has not been disclosed. But it should be noted that China has had a strong incentive to diversify its foreign reserves away from American-held goods ever since the U.S. sanctioned Russia's dollar holdings....

Sovereign debt paradox: U.S.-China mutual holdings fuel geopolitical tensions

April 13, 2025 -

The United States and China are locked in a complex financial paradox: Washington owes Beijing over $850 billion in Treasury debt, while Beijing still defaults on its obligation to American bond holders for over 1 trillion in decades-old bonds issued by the pre-1949 Chinese government. This dual dynamic, rooted in Cold War-era financial agreements and evolving geopolitical tensions, has sparked bipartisan calls in Congress to resolve the imbalance. As China ...

EU mandates crypto firms report users’ holdings to tax authorities, evoking surveillance concerns

December 14, 2022 -

The new law, which is inspired by international standards designed to curb crypto tax evasion, could also apply to stablecoins, derivatives and non-fungible tokens (NFT). Current tax rules prevent people from stashing money in foreign bank accounts to avoid taxation.

"The obligation to report income earned through crypto-asset investments and the exchange of such information will help member states receive a full set of information in order to collect tax revenues due," ...

Japan hints at using U.S. Treasury holdings as leverage in high-stakes trade talks with Trump

May 03, 2025 -

Japan’s Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato has openly acknowledged that the country’s vast holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds could serve as a bargaining chip in tense trade negotiations with the Trump administration. The remarks, made during a televised interview on Friday, mark the first time Japan has explicitly floated the idea of leveraging its $1.13 trillion in U.S. debt as a strategic tool.

“It does exist as a card,” Kato said on TV Tokyo. “Whether ...

De-dollarization efforts continue: BRICS member nations reduce U.S. treasury holdings to boost local currency value

Several members of the BRICS economic alliance, including China, Brazil and India, have been divesting from U.S. government-backed assets, primarily U.S. treasuries.

MORE METAL: China’s public gold holdings now over 2000 tons after another huge purchase in December

January 10, 2023 -

Data uploaded onto the central bank's website on Saturday, Jan. 7, showed that the People's Bank of China (PBoC) has raised its holdings for the said month. This follows the announced purchase of 32 tons in November. (Related: China loads up on gold reserves with recent "mystery" purchase of 300 TONS.)

Before these two recent purchases, the last two times the people's bank reported an inflow of gold were in Sept. 2019 and Oct. 2016. The recent stretch of large purchasing ...

More countries set to dump dollar holdings following U.S. “theft” of Russian reserves after Ukraine invasion

March 31, 2022 -

As part of the regime's economic sanctions package, the Biden administration seized hundreds of billions in Russian currency reserves, which is going to have the unintended effect of knocking the U.S. dollar off its long-held status of being the world's reserve currency. That will mean disaster for Americans and the U.S. economy in general.

"Russia has condemned the United States and its allies of attempting to orchestrate a false default, despite the fact that the nation ...

DUMPING DEBT: Nearly two dozen countries, including many US allies, are dumping their US Treasury bond holdings

July 31, 2023 -

China began its long process of selling off its massive U.S. debt holdings in June 2019, when it was removed from its top spot as the largest foreign owner of U.S. Treasuries as Japan increased its own bond holdings. By April 2022, U.S. Treasuries held by the Chinese dropped below the $1 trillion mark.

From December 2022 to March, China sold over $31.3 billion in U.S. debt. By the end of July, China once again sold $46.2 billion in U.S. Treasuries. Current estimates of ...

Central banks continue adding gold to their net holdings as fears rise of a global currency collapse

October 06, 2022 -

According to a report at SchiffGold, central banks added to their gold holdings for a fifth straight month as war, supply chain crises, and a looming energy shortage in Europe all weigh heavily on global currencies and the global economy.

"On net, central banks added 20 more tons of gold to their reserves. Three banks drove buying in August and there were no notable sellers," the analysis said.

The report went on to note that central banks have added a staggering ...

Bank of Japan is buying up it’s own government’s debt: Bond holdings top 50% for first time

July 04, 2022 -

The Bank of Japan’s move to buy up Japanese government bonds is leading to a series of distortions within the bond market. These include an inverted yield curve that sees the interest rate on certain short-term bonds exceeding that of long-term bonds. It is also accelerating the depreciation of the Japanese yen against other currencies.

The bank's purchase of government bonds without preset limits is in keeping with its policy of capping long-term interest rates at roughly ...

Amazon buying up massive industrial land holdings across the U.S., even as it reduces warehouse square footage… what are they planning?

June 29, 2022 -

One of the company's most recent purchases was 193 acres of land located just outside of Round Rock, Tex., near Austin. Texas' lenient land-use laws mean that Amazon can use this massive parcel for whatever it wishes – so what is on the agenda?

According to reports, Amazon's land accumulation endeavors started about three years ago. The Seattle-based retail predator quietly started searching for land in Southern California, Texas, Illinois, Florida, and the Bay Area. Since ...

America’s true national debt is around $135 trillion, not the $27 trillion we are being told

October 02, 2020 -

This is the claim of Truth in Accounting, which reveals that the U.S. Published National Debt only includes debt held by the public and intragovernmental holdings, including debt held by Social Security and Medicare trust funds. It does not, it is important to note, include total unfunded Social Security and Medicare promises.

Two critical elements of the debt equation, these latter two factors expand the national debt by a factor of five, rendering it astronomically ...

Not just the vaccine industry: The CDC is in bed with Big Tobacco, too… director forced to RESIGN after being caught

February 11, 2018 -

In case you missed it, Politico first broke the story on Dr. Fitzgerald's voluntary removal from the CDC. The former Georgia Department of Public Health Commissioner reportedly purchased stocks in tobacco companies almost immediately after being appointed by the Trump administration as head of the CDC – an obvious conflict of interest.

The only reason Dr. Fitzgerald abruptly decided to resign from her post is because she was caught. Pretending to be against tobacco ...
