Do you have any sources with a breakdown of China's UST holdings by maturity term?This is wrong because china's UST holdings are mostly short-term, and those are less affected by the rise in rates (which tanks the value of longer term bonds)

The weighted average maturity of all U.S. long-term debt securities held by foreigners is just over 10 years (Exhibit 15). Foreign holdings of long-term Treasury securities are more concentrated at shorter maturities than are holdings of agency or corporate debt, with an average maturity of about 6.5 years. The average maturity of corporate securities is about 11.6 years, while the average maturity of agency securities is more than 25 years. Foreign official holdings have a notably shorter average maturity—8.5 years for total long-term debt securities—compared to about 11.4 years for foreign private holdings.
Much of the reported decline in China’s UST holdings reflects a drop in UST valuations, not sales. China’s UST sales were also offset by china $100B in Agency MBS purchases over the same period
