连续14个月的减持，中方的动作让美国撑不住了。 2026年1月的最新数据却是让华盛顿沸腾了：中国持有的美国国债规模已降至6826亿美元，创下自2008 年金融危机以来的最低水平。这已经是中国连续第14个月减持美国国债。 与这一趋势相呼应的是中国黄金储备的持续增加，截至2025年12月末，中国黄金储备达到7415万盎司， 实现了连续第14个月的增持。 中国持有美国国债的金额从14个月前的逾9000亿美元一路下滑，至今已减少了近10%。这种"逐步但不 均匀"的减持趋势，与全球其他国家形成了鲜明对比。 而就在中国减持的同时，2025年11月份，美国国债的外资持有总量却增加了1128亿美元，达到了创纪录 的9.36万亿美元。日本、英国、加拿大、挪威和沙特等国都在当月增加了美债持仓。 不过，虽然看似中国的减持动作明显，但实际并非简单的投资调整，而是一项战略决策。简单来说，美 国巨额债务积累类似于庞氏骗局，用更大规模的新债替换旧债。而中国不想再玩这个游戏了。 那中国为何选择在此时行动？ 实际上，这一决策与特朗普政府可能将美联储政治化的前景密切相关。特朗普可能很快宣布下一任美联 储主席人选，而他的任命者"无疑会对他更顺从" ...
