[China's sale of U.S. assets: from global economic turmoil to Trump's "tricks"]
Ouch, this is really coming in a hurry and fiercely! As recently as July 2024, China sold $42.6 billion in United States assets in one fell swoop, selling everything — Treasury bonds, agency bonds, stocks, all thrown to the market. Behind this, in addition to our economic risk considerations, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the sparks of tension between China and the United States are also fueling the flames. What's going on, it's really a bit out of pace.
For a while, this move caused quite a stir around the world. China's "fire sale campaign" is really drastic, leaving many people dumbfounded. The reactions of netizens are also varied, and some think "Good guy, the US stock market is going crazy now!" Some sighed, "It's really the demeanor of a big country, and it's like a tiger when you play!" Commentaries from all walks of life came on the stage, and the scene was very lively.

In other words, Trump's dude is not idle. Although China is selling United States assets, he has shown goodwill to us. This is obviously a bit of a cautious move, and his political strategy has clearly taken China's role into consideration. Trump talks about maintaining good relations with China, but in fact he is still playing the "suppression card" against China. It's just a master who "hides a knife in a smile"!
Netizens' attitudes towards Trump are also mixed. A netizen named Xiao Li said: "Trump's move is really 'seemingly peaceful, but in fact there is an undercurrent'!" Not only to win us over, but also to continue to exert pressure on the policy, it is really spicy. And another netizen named Da Zhang felt: "Trump's 'goodwill', to put it bluntly, is to engage in some psychological warfare, who believes it!" Anyway, if he comes to power again, we need to prepare some gold to stabilize economic risks! ”

Speaking of gold, this is also one of Trump's "tricks". If he is re-elected, there will be a wave of gold purchases around the world. China is no exception, and may increase its gold reserves and enhance its ability to resist risks. After all, gold is a reliable safe haven in the midst of economic turmoil!
Some netizens are optimistic about this, while others are worried. A netizen commented: "Oh, the world is crazy about buying gold, I'm afraid that the price of gold will soar!" Let's hurry up, there is no place to cry when we can cry. Another reminded: "No matter what, although gold is good, you have to look at it rationally, don't be led by Trump's tricks!" ”

Looking at China's asset sale this time, in addition to the consideration of economic risks, the tension between China and the United States cannot be ignored. After all, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has made the global economic environment more and more complicated, and if we don't do something at this time, we may be drawn into more trouble.
China's operation is obviously a "risk-averse" strategy. Netizens also expressed their understanding of this. A netizen named Lao Wang sighed: "Our operation is not only an economic strategy, but also a manifestation of political games. In the face of the complex international situation, we must make corresponding adjustments. ”
In summary, China's move to sell United States assets is not only an economic choice, but also a game of international politics. Behind Trump's "goodwill", there are more strategic considerations, and the direction of the global economy has become confusing. The discussion among netizens was lively and insightful, and no matter how the future changes, everyone is full of expectations for the next international situation.
