It's been known for a while now that China is a huge net exporter of gold. It runs a huge trading surplus so should have a lot of incoming USD. It hasn't been accumulating UST. Normally, that would lead to currency appreciation, but we haven't seen that, but gold prices keep going up.
At some point, China probably has to reveal how much gold it has really accumulated. The huge domestic production + the huge net import has not led to China changing its official gold reserves numbers.
At some point, China needs to start selling its USD holdings in general, not just the UST
I think it probably is still too concerned about currency stability when it needs to work harder at pushing RMB importance.
Chinese exporters are so competitive vs the west that CNY can significantly appreciate and Chinese exports will still be cheap.
did you meant ..... huge net "Imported " instead of exported ?
