I don't believe they are us gov bonds but issues in USD. I believe it said this is the first of 5 of these events so it could get rough for them

I guess then no negative direct impact correlation to US economic health
Just possibly a bigger macro economic domino

Hurts the people/organizations that purchased the bonds. They'll probably end up settling for pennies on the dollar.

I think I get it now
This is a Chinese investment company that purchased US bonds and they can’t pay their investors.

The Army Just Got Its Hands On Its First "Dark Eagle" Hypersonic Missile Launchers

Bout to deploy these in the pacific theater in 2023 or so ....mach 17 capable hypersonic missiles with range over 1700 miles. ...

If yall ever need a laugh check out the Eurasian times. I clicked on their article months ago...so now they pop up in my google feed from time to time....must be written directly by the ChiComs propaganda office with help from the russian office of misinformation, deception, and outright lies .....more fiction from them than a comic book convention....it is hilarious.

No.

It's a Chinese developer that sold bonds to raise cash and now can't pay off those bonds. It's them saying "give me x amount of money and in 5 years I'll pay you x amount back" it's the same as buying a savings bond from the .gov but in the private sector.

This is correct. However, in this instance, the Chinese developer sold bonds denominated in U.S. dollars. This has no ties whatsoever to the U.S. government. It just means the Chinese developer issued bonds to investors in order to receive cash in U.S. dollars. The interest and principal payments that they then pay back to the investors over time are also paid in U.S. dollars.

How do you know where their submarines are?

Another thing. Some posters wonder why we are on the other side of the world as if they think that it is a long ways away. China's new IBCM has a flight time of about thirty minutes to the United States. To me that is pretty darn close.

Dont know if anybody remembers this. I always thought it a huge deal and suspect to retribution. Just think if you could place some tracking devices on USN ships. Disasterous.

China Finds Bugs on Jet Equipped in U.S. - The Washington Post
Click to expand...

Boeing has a Chinese "finishing" plant cooperatively operated with COMAC - the new Chinese commercial aircraft manufacturer. Supposedly the plant turns out 737s for the Chinese market. In reality it's probably R&D for COMAC and the Chinese will soon be building their own 737 lookalike. If the planes wind up going to non-Chinese markets, imagine the bugs they will could planted in them. Perhaps the bugs the Chinese found were there to determine the extent of their reverse engineering rather than for snooping on legitimate Chinese activities. The WaPo article is behind a paywall, so this point might have been covered.
