The Fed’s Worst Nightmare: China is Quietly Dismantling the Dollar System

China’s Massive US Treasury Dump: Is the Dollar’s Dominance Coming to an End?

Introduction

For decades, the US dollar has reigned supreme as the world’s reserve currency, backed by the “full faith and credit” of the United States. The US Treasury market—long considered the safest investment—has been the backbone of global finance. But what happens when the biggest foreign holder of US debt, China, starts unloading its holdings at an unprecedented pace?

Recent reports suggest China is selling $3 billion worth of US Treasuries per week: 

—a move that could trigger a financial earthquake. If this trend continues, the consequences for the US economy could be catastrophic.

Why Is China Dumping US Debt?

China has been gradually reducing its Treasury holdings for years, but the pace has dramatically accelerated. Here’s why:

  1. De-Dollarization Efforts
  • China, Russia, and BRICS nations are actively moving away from the dollar in trade.

    Image 1: BRICS countries and other nations are looking to reduce their dependence on the US Dollar
  • Beijing is stockpiling gold(over 2,200 tons) and promoting the yuan in global transactions.
  • The goal? Break US financial hegemony and reduce vulnerability to sanctions (like those on Russia). Empowerment Versus Entrapment
  1. Economic Warfare
  • The US has weaponized the dollar through SWIFT bans, sanctions, and asset freezes.
  • China sees holding massive dollar reserves as a strategic risk—especially if US-China tensions escalate.
    Image 2: Increasingly intensifying U.S. economic sanctions targeting Russia’s financial system have deepened concerns in China over its extensive dollar asset holdings and the Chinese financial system’s reliance on dollars.

     

    1. Preparing for a Financial Crisis
    • If the US faces a debt crisis, hyperinflation, or a bond market crash, China wants to minimize exposure.

      Image 3: De-dollarization is an effort by a growing number of countries to reduce the role of the U.S. dollar in international trade. Countries like Russia, India, China, Brazil and Malaysia, among others, are seeking to set up trade channels using currencies other than the almighty dollar. With President Donald Trump’s international trade war ramping aggressively, is the reserve status of the U.S. dollar going to be the next domino to fall?
    • Selling Treasuries now could be a hedge against a future dollar collapse.

The Domino Effect: What Happens If China Keeps Selling?

  1. Rising US Interest Rates
  • If China (and others) dump Treasuries, demand falls, forcing the US to offer higher yields to attract buyers.
  • This means higher borrowing costs for the US government—worsening the $34 trillion debt crisis.
  1. Inflation & Dollar Devaluation https://study.com/academy/lesson/video/the-impact-of-currency-appreciation-depreciation-on-inflation.html
  • The Federal Reserve may be forced to print more moneyto buy its own debt (quantitative easing).
  • More dollars chasing fewer goods = runaway inflation, destroying purchasing power.
  1. Loss of Global Confidence in the Dollar
  • If major economies abandon the dollar, its reserve currency status
  • Countries may demand payment in gold, yuan, or cryptocurrencies
  1.  A Potential US Debt Collapse
  • The US relies on foreign buyersto fund its deficits.
  • If China exits, and others follow, the Treasury market could freeze up, leading to a liquidity crisis.

The US Response: Arrogance or Ignorance?

US policymakers have long assumed the world has no choice but to buy Treasuries. Their confidence rests on:

  • “The dollar has no alternative”(Petrodollar system).
  • “We can print unlimited money without consequences.”

But history shows all empires fall when their currency fails—Rome, Britain, and soon, perhaps, America.

China’s Treasury dump is a warning shot. If this accelerates, the US could face:
✔ A bond market crash
✔ A dollar crisis
✔ A sovereign debt default

Conclusion: Is the Dollar’s Endgame Near?

China’s $3 billion/week Treasury sell-off is not a coincidence—it’s a calculated move in a larger financial war. If this trend continues, the US will face a day of reckoning: either hyperinflation, default, or a brutal austerity crisis.

The era of “exorbitant privilege” (where the US borrows endlessly without consequences) may soon be over.

The question is no longer if the dollar collapses—but when.

IMF: 80 Years of Economic Slavery—And Its Coming Collapse ( Part 2)

1. Birth of a Loan Shark (1944-1971)

  • Bretton Woods Plot: Created by US/UK to enforce dollar dominance. (The Bretton Woods system required countries to guarantee convertibility of their currencies into U.S. dollars to within 1% of fixed parity rates, with the dollar convertible to gold bullion for foreign governments and central banks at US$35 per troy ounce of fine gold (or 0.88867 gram fine gold per dollar). It also envisioned greater cooperation among countries in order to prevent future competitive devaluations, and thus established the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to monitor exchange rates and lend reserve currencies to countries with balance of payments deficits-Wikipedia)

    Image 1: The Bretton Woods agreement established a new international monetary system in 1944, with gold as the basis for the U.S. dollar and fixed exchange rates.

     

  • Original Sin: Loans tied to gold-backed dollars (until Nixon killed the gold standard in 1971). https://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/gold-convertibility-ends

  • Early Victims:

    • 1953 Iran: IMF backed UK/US coup after Mossadegh nationalized oil. ( The 1953 Iranian coup d’état, known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup d’état (Persian: کودتای ۲۸ مرداد), was the overthrow of Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh on 19 August 1953. It was orchestrated by the United States (CIA) and the United Kingdom (MI6). A key motive was to protect British oil interests in Iran after Mossadegh nationalized and refused to concede to western oil demands. It was instigated by the United States (under the name TP-AJAX Project or Operation Ajax) and the United Kingdom (under the name Operation Boot)-Source: Wikipedia)

      Image 2: Confirmation for execution of Operation Ajax

    • 1965 Indonesia: IMF supported Suharto’s massacre of communists for corporate access. ( Large-scale killings and civil unrest primarily targeting members and supposed sympathizers of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) were carried out in Indonesia from 1965 to 1966. Other affected groups included alleged communist sympathisers, Gerwani women, trade unionists,[15] ethnic Javanese Abangan,[2] ethnic Chinese, atheists, so-called “unbelievers“, and alleged leftists in general. According to the most widely published estimates at least 500,000 to 1 million people were killed, with some estimates going as high as 2 to 3 million-Source Wikipedia)

      Image 3: The events of 1965-66 have been taboo for over 50 years in Indonesia

      RWANDA Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) Structural benchmark: Put the water and electricity company (Electrogaz) under private management by June 2001. The water and electricity company (Electrogaz) will be put under private management as a prelude to its privatization.
      SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) Structural benchmark: The new adjustment mechanism for public water and electricity rates will be brought into operation by decree. The price structure will cover all production and distribution costs as well as the margin of the water and electricity company. The accounts will balance consumption and resources without recourse to government subsidies. In May 2000, the government conducted a study of alternatives for the future of the water and electricity company (restructuring, leasing, concession or full privatization), with assistance from the World Bank. By December 2000, it will select one of the options and adopt a financial restructuring plan, and strengthen the revenue collection procedures.

China’s Gold-Backed PetroYuan Just Fired the Dollar’s Funeral Shot

  1. The Petrodollar’s Original Sin

    How the U.S. forced oil trades in dollars (1971-2023);

    1. The 1970s: Birth of the Petrodollar

    • 1971: Nixon ended the Bretton Woods system, decoupling the dollar from gold.

    • 1973-74: The U.S. struck a secret deal with Saudi Arabia (via the U.S.-Saudi Arabian Joint Commission) ensuring that oil would be priced and traded exclusively in USD.

      • In exchange, the U.S. offered military protection and investments in Saudi infrastructure.

      • Other OPEC nations followed, making the dollar the global oil currency.

    2. Enforcement: Sanctions & Wars

    The U.S. has used economic and military power to maintain dollar dominance:

    • Iraq (2000): Saddam Hussein switched oil sales to euros; the U.S. invaded in 2003.

      Image 1: An American Obsession

    • Libya (2011): Gaddafi planned a gold-backed African dinar for oil; NATO intervened.

      Image 2: The US Helped Murder Gaddafi to Stop the Creation of Gold -Backed Currency | by Evangelos

    • Venezuela & Iran: Both tried selling oil in non-dollar currencies (euros, yuan, crypto) and faced severe sanctions.

      Image 3: Venezuela and Iran hold the largest and third-largest petroleum reserves in the world, respectively. Both have also been targeted for regime change by Washington

    3. Recent Challenges (2020s)

    • Russia & China: Now trading oil in yuan, rubles, and local currencies.

      Image 5: Russia dropping US dollar for Chinese yuan

    • BRICS Nations: Pushing for de-dollarization in oil trade.

      Image 6: BRICS+ nations determined to trade in their own currencies – Asia Times

       

      • It was never about trade—it was about control;

        1. The Real Motive: Locking the World into Dollar Dependency

        • Oil is the lifeblood of industrial economies. By forcing oil to be traded in dollars, the U.S. ensured that every country needed massive dollar reserves to buy energy.

        • This created permanent demand for the dollar, allowing the U.S. to:

          • Print money without hyperinflation (since dollars were always needed).

          • Run massive deficits (other nations had to absorb dollar inflation).

          • Control global finance (via SWIFT, sanctions, and Federal Reserve policies).

        Evidence:

        • Former French President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing called this the “exorbitant privilege” of the U.S. dollar.

        • Declassified Nixon-era memos show U.S. officials explicitly discussing how oil-dollar recycling would “maintain U.S. financial supremacy.”

        2. Enforcement: Coercion, Not Free Markets

        The U.S. didn’t just “convince” countries to use dollars—it punished those who resisted:

        • Iraq (2000-2003): Saddam switched oil sales to euros. The U.S. invaded, toppled him, and switched Iraq back to dollars.

        • Libya (2011): Gaddafi planned a gold-backed African dinar for oil trade. NATO bombed Libya, he was killed, and the dinar died with him.

        • Venezuela & Iran: Both tried selling oil in yuan/euros/crypto—crushed by sanctions.

        Key Quote:

        • Alan Greenspan (former Fed Chair) admitted in his memoir:

          “The Iraq War was largely about oil… and the dollar’s role as the reserve currency.”

        3. The Ultimate Goal: Preventing Any Alternative System

        • Any country that tried to bypass the dollar was isolated, sanctioned, or attacked.

        • The U.S. pressured Europe & Asia to reject alternatives (e.g., China’s yuan oil futures).

        • Central banks were forced to hold dollars (or risk losing access to oil markets).

  2. China’s Checkmate Moves

    • 2023: Saudi Arabia accepts yuan for oil.

    • 2024: Russia-Iran-China form “gold-backed oil triangle.”

    • Data: PetroYuan trades up 1,200% since 2018.

The West is Collapsing—And the World is Waking Up

BRICS burns dollar hegemony
  1. The Cracks in the Empire
  • Europe’s Suicide Pact:
    • Sanctions on Russia → German factories flee to China.

      Image 1: The abrupt loss of Russian gas forced Germany to replace it with much more expensive liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, mainly from the United States. These inflated costs have undermined Germany’s global industrial competitiveness.
    • €1 trillion in corporate losses (while Lockheed Martin profits soar).
      Imgae 2: The Global State of Scams 2023 Report, which involved 49,459 people from 43 countries, indicates that a substantial 25.5% of world citizens lost money to scams or identity theft in the last 12 months, culminating in financial losses estimated at $1.026 trillion (€974 billion).

      Image 3: Aeronautics saw sales increase by 9.2% Y/Y in Q1 (2023 +1.8%), driven by increased production volumes, particularly in the F-35 program.
  • Israel’s Mask Off:
    • Gaza genocide exposes Western hypocrisy on “human rights.”

      Image 5: Pro-Palestinian demonstrators protesting against Israel’s war in Gaza hold up keffiyeh scarves during a rally on 8 June in Duisburg, Germany (Ina Fassbender/AFP)
    • ICC arrest threats show global justice shifting(West ≠ untouchable).

      Image 6: On 20 May 2024, the ICC Prosecutor announced that applications for arrest warrants had been filed with the Pre-Trial Chamber (Chamber) for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and three Hamas leaders in the situation in the State of Palestine
  • S. Chaos:
    • Bank collapses (Silicon Valley Bank, Credit Suisse) → BRICS banks gain trust.
      Imgae 7: First Silicon Valley, Now Credit Suisse: A Chain of Bank Collapses

    • Dollar Weaponization→ Countries dump USD reserves (record pace).
      Image 9: Over 10 years, the dollar’s share of global reserve currencies has dropped by 8.6 percentage points. If this pace of decline continues, the dollar’s share will fall below 50% in less than 10 years, by the end of 2034.

       

  1. The Global Awakening
  • BRICS’ Blitzkrieg:
    • New members:Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Thailand—soon France? (Macron’s hints).

  1. The West’s Last Gasps
  • Desperate Moves:
    • NATO pushes Asia expansion (Japan, South Korea) → Accelerates BRICS unity.

      Image 15: Countries like Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand are all in the process of transitioning from being NATO’s ‘global partners’ to becoming members of a more tangible arrangement that NATO has labelled ‘Individually Tailored Partnership Programs’

  1. The Inevitable Future
  • 2025 Tipping Point:
    • Dollar’s global reserve share dips below 50%.
    • BRICS+ GDP surpasses G7 by 2030(already did in PPP terms).
  • Call to Action:

“Boycott Western banks. Move assets to local currencies. The age of American hegemony is over— act like it. #GlobalSouthRising”
Which western institution will collapse first?

Taiwan: The West’s Last Colonial Gambit in Asia

  1. The West’s Taiwan Paradox
    • Hook:“In 1971, the UN recognized Taiwan as part of China.

      Image 1: a province of China
    • Today, the same powers arm ‘separatists’—because China’s rise terrifies them.”
    • Thesis:Taiwan is the final frontier of Western containment—a manufactured crisis to block China’s peaceful rise. The-Peace-in-Chinas-Peaceful-Rise
      Image 2: Indo-Pacific region is facing new power competitions

       

  2. Historical Whiplash: The West’s Own Recognition
    • 1971 UN Resolution 2758:96% of countries (including the U.S.) voted Taiwan = China. (Image: 1)
    • S. Flip-Flops:
      • 1979: U.S. recognized Beijing, pledged “One China”—then secretly armed Taiwan via the Taiwan Relations Act.: https://globaltaiwan.org/events/april-10-the-taiwan-relations-act-at-45/
      • 2023: Biden calls Taiwan “independent”(November 17, 2021) while begging China for debt relief (November 15, 2022)
        Image 3: US presses China for debt relief in developing countries

         

  3. Why Taiwan? The Real Motives
    • Containment:Taiwan is the “unsinkable aircraft carrier” (U.S. Admiral’s words) to blockade China. https://taiwantoday.tw/news.php?unit=4,29,31,45&post=4186
    • Chip Monopoly:TSMC produces 90% of advanced chips—the West fears losing control. https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/tech/taiwan-tsmc-us-investment-reactions-intl-hnk
    • Resource Gatekeeper:Taiwan guards the South China Sea (60% of global trade passes through). https://chinapower.csis.org/much-trade-transits-south-china-sea/
  4. West’s Playbook: Same as Ukraine, Libya, Syria
    • Color Revolutions:Funding pro-independence NGOs (e.g., National Endowment for Democracy).

      Image 4: Each year, NED makes more than 1,900 grants to support the projects of non-governmental groups abroad who are working for democratic goals in more than 90 countries.
    • Weaponizing ‘Democracy’:Pelosi’s 2022 visit = provocation, like NATO expanding to Ukraine.

      Image 5: Pelosi and Tsai praise democracy as China drills form ‘blockade’
    • Media Lies:Framing China as “aggressor” for defending sovereignty (just like Russia in Donbas).
      Image 6: US-led G7 repeats playbook of stirring tension, framing China over Straits tension; Pelosi’s mess prompts US media to explain why one-China policy matters

       

  5. Global South vs. Western Arrogance
    • BRICS Unity:160+ countries (including Saudi, Iran) reaffirm One China.

      Image 7: Over 160 countries reiterated commitment to one-China principle after Pelosi’s Taiwan visit
    • Hypocrisy Exposed:The West claims to “protect” Taiwan while bombing Yugoslavia for separatism.
      Image 7: Left: Bombing Belgrade by Nato.
      Right: Us warship in Taiwan Strait.

       

  6. Conclusion: The Line is Drawn
    • “The West’s Taiwan scam is their last gasp in Asia. China won’t be Ukraine—and the Global South won’t be fooled.”
    • Call to Action:
      • “Share this. Boycott TSMC if it sides with warhawks. Demand your country reject U.S. provocations.”
