#1 This obviously means China will stop selling stuff to the USA.

#3 The finally figured out that the paper they're getting from the Americans has inflated itself beyond the cost of production (to include the welfare effect of keeping their masses employed). They're losing value on each unit shipped, but even they figured out they're not making it up in volume.

#4 Wait until they start dumping US Treasury notes; then we'll know for sure shit just got real.

#5 China is not the smart economic powerhouse people think that it is. There are lots of shaky business loans out there. A drop in demand for Chinese goods could make things ugly and unstable in China.

The US and China are two partners on a boat with little freeboard, and the wind is picking up.

#6 I understand they stopped buying US debt a while back.

So some of this is old news.

I have to figure out how to get the lathe stuff worked out before the economy locks up. This news item indicates I may lose the race.

Yet more headaches.

#7 China has also been buying up gold like crazy. Some suspect the want to create an new reserve currency, not the Yaun, backed by gold. Being Chinese gold it will of course be 1/2 lead alloy, with some asbestos thrown in.

#8 If they do that, Chinese industry will collapse(already running on a 1% margin) and these "huge" reserves will last them three months...then you'll see the rise of "warlords" with new names...as it happened in the past countless times...And epic massacres, again, like in the past...
