treasury, china holds $1.28 u.s. bonds. what will the consequences be? china's economy is struggling a little bit. it's a massive debt ceiling. the united states is -- in 1979 we will forget about that. what happened was -- for china, i think they've got a problem. it's not nearly what they claimed it to be. the situation is unstable. so anything that could disrupt global markets including a default by the united states or boehner saying something silly could easily rock the chinese economy. when the chairman of the federal reserve talked about the possibility some tamering the program, that really rocked the chinese markets. so the chinese know how unstable their system is. >> and japan has moved sharply too. and president obama cancelled the visit to indonesia this week for two days of global trade talks to stay in a wa* because of the debt crisis and government shut down. here's what he said about that. i think they lost more than many come theytors think. -- come theytors think. >> whether it's their own international trading organization, with the e

field so that is another example of how climate funded by example where you just simply holding us treasuries but it's also got investments in africa got investments in south america so it sort of china is definitely trying to diversify away from just putting all its eggs into one basket so given that china does have a large bulk of its assets in the united states would you say it's fair to say that they are at the the mercy of u.s. lawmakers at the moment then david. well kitty is not just china at the mercy of the world's u.s. lawmakers and the world is at the mercy of u.s. lawmakers right now just our look at the stock markets around the world everybody has great concern about what would happen if americans want to get off and instead because so many people are moving on to where treasuries is not just china and confront all over the world from all over the world and the crowded individuals are all doing it so therefore it is a very big that america would evolve in its day and of course you know everybody would be affected so consequently you know in this is a learning curve for everyone a

treasuries as we all know, china has 3.5 trillion u.s. in foreign exchange reserves which 1.3 trillion is invested in u.s. government debt. so all of this talk of debt ceilinging government shutdown put damper on china sentiment towards the u.s. across the asia pacific region, japan, other countries, are also large shareholders, large holders of u.s. treasuries. so the default talk actually is upsetting to a lot of the asian countries. >> sure. i'm wondering, what point sentiment and negative sentiment turn into actual action, right? they stop buying as many treasuries. >> that's right. in terms of action, i think it's very difficult for china to diversify outside u.s. treasuries in the near term because the amount of holdings is so huge. on the other hand chinese currency beginning to gain more international prominence. china's international -- china's currency the ninth most traded currency in the world now. 15% of chinese trade beginning to be settled in the rmb. more and more bilateral trade is beginning to be settling in the rmb rath

treasury bond, china has a lot at stake. close to $1.3 trillion of u.s. federal debt can be exact -- to be exact, is where it is. china is using this disaster to turn out some scathing anti u.s. propaganda and the communist party's mouthpiece "the people's daily" wrote, it is america's arrogance that led to the decision to bypass the united nations and launch a war in iraq and it is the same arrogance that often let's america use domestic policy to kidnap the global economy. another state-run media outlet in china took it a step further, saying, it is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a deamericanized world. joining me now, our rapid response panel, joan walsh, salon.com and goldie taylor, of goldie taylor project and msnbc contributor. well, what an interesting day this has been. joan, you first. this is pretty serious stuff. china is talking about deamericanizing the world. they're certainly not on our side. >> no. >> does this teach our politicians in washington anything? >> i don't know. i don't know that they h

china and japan the biggest foreign holders of u.s. treasuries. there was an op ed by the china news agency this week saying it is time to consider the de- americanization of the financial world. it is dangerous to leave that with a hypocritical country with dysfunctional elements. they don't have the same universal acceptance as the global benchmark. we might see the start of change as inter-asia trade expands. >> lending and investment. what we can do is try to use domestic currencies like yen. it can be as much is possible to come through those countries and involved countries like china. >> we did see the dollar rising, ¥99. we are trading around 98. >> have a good day over there. we will talk about china. the same subject. at the same time, they are concerned. we will find out exactly what china is thinking. >> with the foreign ministry, they said thursday that the deal not only served the u.s.'s own interest but contributes to economic stability. they said they were also closely following china's exports and investments. >> they will closel

treasuries like china does, like japan does, that option doesn't exist for you because there isn't another reserve currency that's big enough. you can invest in canadian dollars, you can invest in australian dollars but there aren't enough out there to actually substitute for the united states. but there is some danger that interest rates could start to increase, they have already done that. [speaking at the same time] >> you could see a weaker dollar and more expensive exports. >> all of those things could have an effect. so there is real tangible effect on american households if congress does this. which is unfortunate, because the economy sort of is plugging along on its own steam thanks to the federal reserve. we don't need man-made manipulated disasters like this. it would just be better if congress wouldn't fiddle with the economy the way they are doing. >> let's hope -- >> i fully agree with that. i think the danger for american households is those who are really relying on cash payments from the federal government are at risk. if social security checks don't come on time, if medica

but yes, china has used the u.s. treasury bills to park their money, the trillions they earned in the trade surplus, with the u.s. particularly. the exchange has been such that china's exported goods got cash in return, and then wants a place to put that cash. china has a massive cash surplus, trillions of dollars. it is not just the u.s. treasury bonds part of the picture, they more than double that in the u.s. assets, so this whole period has been difficult for chinese authorities, though it is clear that they will continue to put money in u.s. treasuries because it is a large market, relatively safe, in spite of this wrangling in washington, and also a liquid market so they can move money in and out with some ease. >> exactly, so if china wants to wean itself off the u.s. treasuries, essentially, they're going to have to change their entire economic system. and right now there doesn't seem to be an appetite for that. >> well, certainly nothing that is going to happen in the short or medium term. they can't just fl

. >> reporter: china holds u.s. treasuries worth over $1.2 trillion. it's the largest foreign holder of u.s. debt. it surpassed japan in september of 2008. and chinese officials have been pushing the u.s. counterparts to take necessary steps behind closed doors. >> translator: china has serious concerns about the fiscal problems in the united states. we need u.s. leaders to secure the safety of chinese investments in treasuries. we've already strongly urged them to take action. >> reporter: this professor of chinese studies at the johns hopkins university says there could be political implications if the u.s. can't fix its finances. >> it's my impression that china has not exerted any open influence or tried to exert open influence on u.s. political behavior. nonetheless, intelligent politicians of course realize that china has this position. and that gives china an enormous amount of de facto power. >> reporter: people in china will be watching to see if u.s. leaders can avert a default in time. ak hiro mikoda, nhk world, beijing. >>> here are the lat

treasury holding their horses as part of their reserve currency reserves they would have provided also eventually for private investors would small amount i don't see any reason why they would want to avoid any treasury exposure to rethink the bond market the treasury bond market and also by the way most of the eurozone sovereign bonds is one of the biggest above result they shouldn't hold gold on the other hand would be a good alternative certainly for private investors china is trying to buy more boards actually in puerto rico than what he does in terms of dollars over the last few years through hong kong they're trying to increase the gold part of their reserves but they are so big of course that it's difficult for them to do that is i was driving prices up the recent correction go off as in a good opportunity and russia and china are both buying a certain looking at what's happened in the last couple of hours with the president obama signing the bad bill the debt ceiling has just been bumped up again i mean the bubble will explode eventually but what will that all mean for world ec

we see treasury yields continue to de-china. let's get more on the final asian trading session of the week, as well. >> thank you, ross. asian markets, china is revering its gdp growth data. but the nikkei 225 ends down by just a touch after a seven-day winning streak. investors are keeping an eye on the u.s. job status slated to come out next tuesday. south korea's kospi gained 0.6%. meanwhile, australian shares are -- the euphoria end ago five-year high ending higher by 0.75%. now for some winners, on the hong kong bores, sands china shares soared to a record high on better than expected q3 results with net income dropping 89% on the year. this boosted by strong trend at its mccow and singapore operations. numbers show mccow's gambling revenues this year increased nearly 17% from last year. so other gaming stocks also on a hot on streak in today's session. back to you, ross. sixuan, thank you for that. let's get more on china's economy. that was an improvement from 7.5% in the previous thee months. other monthly data was in li

treasuries in china, i was telling a lot of people because i was curious about this myself. so far, we haven't seen any signs. but a lot of the triggers that i've been talking to said that they are sensing triggers. and they've been point to go some of the data that came out of japan recently, some of the data out of japan showed japanese investors have been selling foreign bonds at record levels last week. and just a couple hours ago, the hong kong exchange issued a statement -- oh, yep. >> is this headlines news? is this front page news in china right now? >> yeah. >> this is it, this is the biggie? >> no, no, it's front page news. yeah, it is a biggie. but the way it's playing itself out is very, very straight. and the sense is that the the government doesn't want to draw criticism itself for having so much of its own money in u.s. treasuries. but one pointed i wanted to bring up with what happened in the hong kong exchange, they issued a statement saying they're valuing u.s. treasuries lower. they are now going to apply, tledz, a haircut to the valuation of u.s. treasuri

treasury, that is 32% of the assets of the people in china. if we defaulted and the value of those treasuries go down, the assets of the peoples bank of china goes down and it effects the economy. $1.1 trillion is owned by the japanese and they have a similar problem. if you put those two countries together, that is 45% of all of the debt of the united states on the outside of the united stat united states, roughly 18 to 20% of all of the debt of the united states. we've already done irreparable harm to kos these countries recognize they cannot hold that much in treasuries. once the crisis is over, they will start to let them out into the market. cheryl: we have been getting a lot of commentary from analysts like yourself. i want to read a quote to you. they are not so worried about any delay with the debt ceiling. here's what they say. in the current case such an outcome would be a far simpler situation for the ratings business when the world's largest and wealthiest countries would be related below those compared with it. how do you respond

treasuries that's why they're concerned and that's why china and japan have been urging america to bring about early resolution of this problem if they don't then you know i think over the longer. the dollar will decline and its importance will move towards a multipolar currency system of the currencies will take on board more importance not i think it's going to happen anyway at the global economy is changing there's a shift in the center of gravity from west to east so-called emerging markets economies which i think actually is the wrong but developing developed economies whatever you want to call them are actually already incredibly important for the global economy. will continue to do so over the longer term so these changes that are taking place could easily be accelerated by the problems that we're seeing in america the most economist and former u.k. treasury official neil mckenna thank you very much for your thoughts on the american standstill at capitol hill. now reducing reliance on the u.s. dollar has been discussed ever since the credit crunch struck back in two thousand and e

if we can't pay every bill pay treasury note holders first, china, and we'll get to social security recipients later. lew says that is a dangerous idea. there he is in the glasses and blue tie. he calls it irresponsible, he says the government really shouldn't try to prioritize what it owes because all debt should be treated equal. strangely, if the u.s. does default it could help social security. admittedly this is a weird silver lining. if we turn into the world dead beats interest goes up and social security's investment is in treasuries. so social security would make money on the deal so. this is proof the whole thing is a lot more complicated. some on capitol hill say default would have no effect. there is no historic proof of that because we've never done it. here is another thing that might not work the way you think. u.s., we're freezing aid to europe to show our displeasure there. when it comes to military aid we don't send money, our money is paid to american factories that make humvees, tanks, whatnot. products are sent. as lawmakers point out that is actually costing american1,,ñ
