本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛but I can't imagine selling US T bill/bond will be a good solution... US cut Feb rate to bail economy from the risk of recession, it will bring inflation rate higher... dropping US Dollar will also import inflation from other countries... selling bond will increase the LT bond yield level.. make it harder to business(and GOV) to borrow in the market, the selling of bond, in nutshell, neutralize the rate cut move by Fed and slow down the US economy... I don't see how US Dollar will benefit from a slowing down economy? same time, selling US bond will cause bond price drop, bondholders will suffer bigger losses as other players join the sale (every countries wish to sell the bond earlier before price drop too deep). For china economy, the last thing we want to see is US recession since US is the largest buyer of our export.
anyway, losses in foreign reserve is inevitable when US change their attitude toward exchange rate and start to tolerate weak US Dollar, this is the US's privilege as world currency and another good lesson for diversification. There are article talking about diversify foreign reserve into a more balanced basket including Euro, Japanese Yan, US, Gold... China sold too much gold and keep too much US dollar (one key reason is China believe US favor strong US Dollar, and US dollar is interest generating asset and Gold does not generate interest at all)...
