China's U.S. Debt Holdings May Be Masked Through Foreign Custodians · 1 source tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Official data indicates China has significantly reduced its holdings of U.S. Treasury debt, reaching an 18-year low. However, analysts suspect this may be a "stealth" move, with China potentially rerouting its U.S. debt through custodian banks in countries like Canada and Belgium. These countries have seen suspicious increases in Treasury holdings that coincide with China's reported divestment, suggesting a strategy to mask its true U.S. asset portfolio amidst global de-dollarization efforts and trade surpluses.
