中方抛售3096亿美债，美政府关门，专家惊呼：中国的王牌奏效了

Group 1 - China has been strategically selling U.S. Treasury bonds since 2022, with a total reduction of $309.6 billion over three years, and current holdings have decreased to just over $700 billion, marking a one-third decline from peak levels and the lowest in 15 years [3][11] - The U.S. government is facing a shutdown due to political gridlock between Democrats and Republicans, leading to significant economic losses, with approximately 750,000 federal employees on unpaid leave, resulting in daily wage losses of $400 million and weekly losses of $7 billion [7][13] - The ongoing political division in the U.S. is causing a loss of confidence among international investors regarding U.S. Treasury securities, which could lead to higher borrowing costs for the U.S. government [9][11] Group 2 - The U.S. has relied on a "borrow new to pay old" model for over 200 years, resulting in a debt level that exceeds safe limits, making the financial system vulnerable [8][9] - China's actions in selling U.S. debt are not intended to harm the U.S. but to mitigate its own risks amid rising U.S. debt and political instability, indicating a shift in asset management strategy [11][14] - The economic competition between China and the U.S. extends beyond Treasury bonds and government shutdowns, reflecting broader changes in global power dynamics and the need for both countries to adapt to a multipolar world [14]
