According to Chinese financial data company Wind, October's value was the lowest since November 2008 and represented a more than 47% decline from the roughly $1.32 trillion peak in November 2013. China is now in third place among foreign US Treasury holdings, behind Japan and the UK. In November 2025, Beijing maintained its gold-buying trend for a 13th consecutive month while reducing its purchases of US Treasury bonds. According to official figures, China has increased its gold reserves by 30,000 ounces, elevating its total stock to 74.12 million ounces, valued at $310.6 billion.

Will China pay back the 1 trillion they owe US Bond holders who supported their sovereign wealth fund before WW2?
I mean the trade deficit with US has fallen below the likes of Mexico/Vietnam/Ireland and would be comparable to Taiwan’s in a year or 2. China can’t simply keep spending like before and have to use the reserves to pay for it. Source: census.gov
