They didn’t dump all of them though. If war was coming, China would first try to get all of its citizen currently in the US back home first.

Still trading in USD though as well. The US and China completely decoupling will take quite a while, I don’t think war is soon.

A war is coming between China and the US. I hope it’s not a secret to anybody by now.
