China holds US$1.16 trillion in US treasuries by the end of May this year.

China faces U.S. debt default	美債務(wù)存降級風(fēng)險(xiǎn) 稱不能對中國承諾“美元不違約”
China faces growing risk on its record holdings of US$1.16 trillion in U.S. treasuries after a White House official said Thursday the US government cannot promise it won’t default on its debt.	作為美國最大的債權(quán)人，中國截至今年5月末持有約1.16萬億美元的美國國債。而最新消息顯示，美國主管能源與商務(wù)事務(wù)的助理國務(wù)卿瓊斯費(fèi)爾南德斯于昨日(7月28日)表示，白宮目前還不能對中國承諾“美元不會違約”。
A downgrade of U.S. sovereign debt would put China's massive foreign exchange assets in peril, experts surveyed by the National Business Daily generally agreed.	在《每日經(jīng)濟(jì)新聞》記者的采訪中，多位專家均表示，如果美債評級遭下調(diào)，可能會對中國外儲投資帶來安全風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。
Hu Xinzhi, a manger at Agricultural Bank of China, said a U.S. default would immediately impact the value of China's assets and send shockwaves through the world's second largest economy via trade and investment.	中國農(nóng)業(yè)銀行戰(zhàn)略管理部總經(jīng)理胡新智則認(rèn)為，美國債務(wù)違約，中國除了面臨直接資產(chǎn)損失外，經(jīng)濟(jì)也會受到間接影響。債務(wù)違約對美國國內(nèi)經(jīng)濟(jì)的影響，會通過貿(mào)易、投資等方面，傳導(dǎo)到中國實(shí)體經(jīng)濟(jì)當(dāng)中來。
"Although China is trimming its purchase of U.S. treasuries, it has limited options," said Qiu Sisheng, a researcher at HSBC China. "Japanese bonds are not good, and Korean bonds are illiquid. As a result, the U.S. treasury market is still a better option."	“目前，中國正在減少累積美債的速度，然而仍然沒有其他資產(chǎn)取代美債。比如說，日本的國債也不算好，韓國的債券流動性不夠好，所以目前來看全球市場上還是美債具有最大的市場，并且有較高的流動性?！被ㄆ熘袊闶坫y行研究與投資分析主管邱思甥稱。
