China’s Economic Actions Signal Shifting Global Dynamics

The relationship between China and the United States is marked by ongoing tension. A recent example is the suspension of tariff increases for 90 days. However, this diplomatic pause does not guarantee a sustainable shift towards stability for the global economy. Instead, China’s actions signal a strategic retreat from US-centric markets. This move comes amidst the sale of nearly $19 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds, pushing China to third place among foreign creditors of the United States and prompting questions about its reliance on American assets. Experts analyze this shift as a signal of risk aversion, driven by geopolitical uncertainty.
