China’s Premier Wen ‘Worried’ on Safety of Treasuries (Update2)
By Belinda Cao and Judy Chen
March 13 (Bloomberg) -- China, the U.S. government’s largest creditor, is “worried” about its holdings of Treasuries and wants assurances that the investment is safe, Premier Wen Jiabao said.
“We have lent a huge amount of money to the United States,” Wen said at a press briefing in Beijing today. “I request the U.S. to maintain its good credit, to honor its promises and to guarantee the safety of China’s assets.”
White House National Economic Council Director Lawrence Summers, asked about Wen’s remarks, said overseas “confidence” in Treasuries would be hurt without the administration’s steps to end the economy’s decline. President Barack Obama is relying on China to sustain buying of Treasuries amid record amounts of debt sales to fund a $787 billion stimulus package.
“China’s purchases of American debt have been one of the few bolts keeping the wheels on the global economy,” said Phil Deans, a professor of international affairs at Temple University in Tokyo. “If China stops buying, where does Obama’s borrowing to fund his stimulus come from?”
Treasuries declined after Wen’s remarks, before recouping the losses later. Yields on benchmark 10-year notes rose as high as 2.96 percent, from 2.85 percent late yesterday, and were at 2.83 percent at 12:27 p.m. in New York.

たしかにいつ「徳政令」されるかもわからない米国債を大量に持つ危険性というのは深刻ですよね。彼がこう言わざるを得ない気持ちはわからんでもない。
その逆に「もし中国が買うのやめたらアメリカはどうなるの？」という脅しにも聞こえます。この場合は「貸している側」が強いのか、それとも「借りている側」が強いのか？？？？
しかし日本の首相は口が裂けてもこういうことは言いません（言えません？）（苦笑
