$1.2 trillion is a lot of gold to take out of the country!

China owns about $1.2T of our treasuries, and I guarantee ya, we know it. Supposedly during the meltdown, Russia approached them about getting together and dumping treasuries at the worst possible time. We're essentially like a doll on a string for them, and the only thing saving our asses is the symbiotic nature of the global economy. If and when China needs us less, we're a sitting duck.
This is a self-inflicted wound, just like all our other problems.

That was so 80s... we've got a new scary demon to have irrational fears about.Japan owns about as much treasury debt as China does. Why does nobody fuss about Japan?
