“Latest report: foreign holdings of U.S. government debt are up by 10%, year over year. China has been buying. It now holds $1.2 trillion.  The total comes to $5.66 trillion. Of this, 72% is held by foreign governments and central banks.  This policy of inflating the domestic currency and buying U.S. Treasury debt with the new money holds down U.S. interest rates. It helps keep recession away. It also holds down the dollar value of foreign currencies. This is great for American consumers.  American consumers are getting subsidies from foreign governments. This is mercantilism in action. American consumers are the great beneficiaries.”
