我问你个问题，你最近上网冲浪的时候，有没有发现一种特别解气的说法，很多人都在传美国早晚会把那几十万亿的美债直接赖掉，两手一 摊宣布作废。 这话听着确实痛快，甚至有点大仇得报的爽感，毕竟咱们辛苦赚的外汇换成美债，要是真被赖了确实憋屈，但转念一想，美国要是真敢这么 干，它自己那个霸权体系也就彻底完了。 但我这几天闲着没事，特意去翻了翻美国财政部和几家华尔街机构的最新报表，看完之后我反倒冷静了。我也在想，这事儿真有那么简单 吗，美国人是不是傻，不知道赖账的好处。结果数据摆在那，我才发现这哪里是赖账，这简直就是对着自己的大动脉动刀子。 如果这块石头碎了，美元这张网也就破了。美联储的官员自己在公开场合都承认，债务规模逼近临界点，一旦出现违约风险，10年期美债收 益率会直接飙升。这可不是闹着玩的，收益率飙升意味着全社会的借贷成本爆炸，房贷、车贷、企业债利息全部翻倍，股市估计得跌得惨不 忍睹，这对于靠金融吃饭的美国经济来说，就是要了亲命。 我也查了下咱们这边的情况，心里其实挺踏实的。央行副行长邹澜之前就明确说过，我国的外汇储备配置是分散化的，单一资产的变动影响 非常有限。这话不是随便说说的，是有实打实的操作在支撑。看看美国 ...
