China’s Bold Move: Banks Ordered to Slash US Treasuries Exposure in Major BRICS Power Play

China just pulled the plug on Uncle Sam's favorite piggy bank.

The De-Dollarization Hammer Drops

Forget subtle shifts—this is a direct order. Chinese financial institutions are now under mandate to dramatically reduce their holdings of US government debt. It's not a suggestion; it's a strategic redeployment of capital on a geopolitical scale. The message to Washington is clear: the era of unquestioned dollar dominance is getting a rewrite.

BRICS Backbone Gets Real

This isn't isolated financial housekeeping. It's the muscle behind the BRICS bloc's long-stated ambition to build an alternative financial architecture. Moving reserves out of Treasuries frees up billions to flow into the coalition's own development projects, currency swap networks, and shared liquidity pools. It's about building a system that doesn't pass through New York.

The Ripple You Can't Ignore

When one of the world's largest creditors starts selling, the math changes for everyone. Expect higher borrowing costs for the US, more volatility in the bond market, and a frantic search for alternative 'safe' assets. Global capital maps are being redrawn in real-time—and traditional portfolio managers are left playing catch-up. (Another win for the spreadsheet jockeys who think diversification means choosing between different shades of government bonds.)

The financial world's center of gravity is lurching east. Buckle up.

BRICS: China’s US Treasuries Could Soon See a Decline

BRICS member China now holds close to $298 billion worth of US dollar-denominated assets in its central bank, according to data from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, but how much of these are in Treasuries is not publicly reported. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) and the National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA) have not disclosed the information.

Apart from China and other BRICS countries, and top fund managers, global investors are also questioning the role of US Treasuries. Washington’s fiscal discipline is increasingly worrisome as the National debt is racing towards $40 trillion. The dollar has also weakened since TRUMP took office, as the DXY index is struggling to climb above 100.

The worries increased after Trump indicated that he’s comfortable with the US dollar’s decline. He brushed off all concerns regarding the fall of the USD, despite it reaching its lowest levels since 2022. Therefore, China and BRICS countries are cutting down on US Treasuries before it is too late to initiate damage control.
