No. China’s holdings of treasuries are equivalent of just one day of treasury trading. It would be 72 hours of heightened volatility before everything goes back to normal. Treasuries as being THE risk-free instrument is tautological among US investors.

Just spend some time read the replies in the X post, you will see how false this data is. Stop posting fake data.
No. DEI is largely pro forma compliance to defeat Title VII (employment discrimination) lawsuits under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Further, DEI done well enhances the ability of firms to attract all talent, including scientists and engineers. No system can be fair if people aren’t given equal chances and some hiring practices, intentionally or not, exclude people for non-meritious reasons. For example, hiring based on referrals will end up being a racial proxy due to decades of racial attitudes and residential segregation. An active attempt to attract other people will improve, not diminish labor market sorting and efficiency.
Another example: many students do not attend state flagships, not due to a lack of academic ability, but due to them being poor. If a corporate makes a conscious effort to hire from state flagships and high performing regional university students, that will improve the talent available to a corporate.
Where did people say we are the defenders of freedom of speech? That is some crappy excuse to use against users for wanting to post a rebuttal. So why is it a problem when users want to post a rebuttal against misinformation? If people want to response then I say we let them. No one is forcing you to read anything. You are more than capable of using your eyes and brain to instantly determine if you want to continue reading it. All you need to do is scroll past it.
Beyond the stats being a contrived apples to oranges comparison, this debt hawkery also doesn't make any sense since a lot of Chinese debt is backed by productive assets (which have not been sold off to private interests like Chicago's parking meters).
Developing economies SHOULD absolutely be more indebted than developed ones because they need to borrow in order to develop, so comparing the debt burden of a developed US with a developing China doesn't make sense on the face of it.

If there is any post that proves this dude either doesn't live in the US or work a job getting paid above minimum wage. This is it.
This now multi-weeks long continued back and forth of expecting server side results for easily remediable client side solutions is now rather tedious. If you don't like an individual and don't want them sticking around on the site, just bait them into posting NATO-critical rebuttals on the Ukraine War thread or into disrupting the infosec collection process on the flagship threads and they'll get permanently bounced. Otherwise, install the Tampermonkey extension, or a variant like Greasemonkey/Violentmonkey, on your browser of choice and add the following script, or for opsec, get ChatGPT to rewrite the script:
I would add this word of reminder: don't assume that just because this forum has the word "Sino" in its title that it means it's that long-sought "pro-Chinese" oasis - if any members are here for that reason. SDF is akin to the Qing, so to speak, or be more accurate, the Raj, and the fact that, historically, a user had to make this sort of appeal and contend with this sort of push-back at all in a supposed place like this should make that metaphor quite clear. Those members would have a more comfortable time here if they drop that misconception, which is why I still cringe when recalling that a member once notoriously doxxed themselves because they got too comfortable here and thought they were finally amongst friends and "compatriots;" doubly a daft move when this is a public no-registration Google Search-indexed forum. Simply put, there are no public communities of that sort on the English internet, besides places that will be inevitably banned like Reddit's r/sino, that is.
Here is another script to block posts from users that can't be blocked with normal server side Xenforo provided functionality or for signed-out browsing:

Yeah, that's why China's in a much better position. China has an external debt to GDP ratio of 13.7% while America's is 95%.
If you know this, then what's up with this stupid post below pretending that China has the debt problem rather than the US?
Oh a $1 trillion problem is gonna become moot, right? LOL What an imagination, just like all the bogus charts you bring up from Twitter without checking fact-checking as long as they seem to say what you want to hear.
For China to dump all US treasuries would have for wider reaching consequences for the global economy and its stability than just 1 day's worth of business. It signals the conflict that no market knows how to deal with or what to expect.
And tell Janet Yellen to not come over here on any more begging tours for China to buy US treasuries/debt. Aint' nobody got time to watch her lickin' her fat chops over some mushroom soup then drone for hours about how China should help the US harm Russia so the US can get on to harming China. We are a growing nation; our politicians are very busy doing good for the public and developing national power. Nobody has time for Yellen's bullshit.
