      Japanese investors hold a large chunk of US bonds. With the yen rallying against the dollar and US rates being high, they’re looking to dump their bonds because otherwise they’re going to start losing money on them.

    $400Bn is nothing in the USA, honestly. Japan could fire sale it all, which it won’t, and in the worst case American actors will buy it all up and the market blip will be over in a single day. Someone will make good money on short sales, though.

          Very similar to the situation of leftism in India.

          The CPI was openly anti-China - although they’re open to merging back with the CPIM. But the CPI isn’t as relevant as the CPIM. The CPIM, which was carved out of CPI, had a split, owing to the Sino-Soviet split. And then the communist parties in India kept fragmenting over minute ideological differences - some into Marxist-Leninists, Trotskyist, Maoists, etc , and some went out of relevance. None of these parties, however, have any connection to the HSRA, aka the original anti-colonialist revolutionaries. Now, there are fake (non-Marxist), wannabe socialist/communist (read: welfare capitalist) parties like the INC and SP with considerable seats in the Indian parliament.

          In the case of JCP, they seems to all with the Soviets strongly, just like old-timers at CPI.

    They’d never do it if it’d hurt USA so badly. They rely strongly on them on many fields, including military support
