Global asset allocation is undergoing profound changes. Data shows that China's US debt holdings have fallen to a 17-year low, while Japan and the UK are increasing their holdings against the trend—what does this really reflect?

On the surface, it appears to be a adjustment of each country's debt strategy, but fundamentally it touches on a bigger issue: when the scale of $38 trillion in US debt is accompanied by annual interest payments exceeding $1 trillion, the halo of "risk-free assets" begins to fade. The trust foundation of the traditional financial system is loosening.

Interestingly, the reaction of smart money is already quite evident. On one hand, gold reserves are continuously hitting new highs; on the other hand, global liquidity is seeking new outlets. Historical experience tells us that whenever there is a significant adjustment in sovereign asset allocation, emerging asset classes often present development opportunities.

De-dollarization is no longer a behind-the-scenes topic but a reality happening now. The accelerated establishment of a multi-reserve system not only reshapes the traditional financial order but also opens up imagination space for low-correlation assets. Especially those operating independently of the traditional system are now facing a window of re-evaluation.

When cracks appear in the old order, new mechanisms gain fertile ground. What are your thoughts on this round of asset rebalancing? Which areas might become the next safe havens for capital?

China reduces holdings of US debt, Japan and the UK are taking opposite actions? This logic is quite interesting, smart money is already betting on it.

China is reducing its holdings of US debt. Isn't this a sign that the dollar system is coming to an end? Gold is soaring straight up—smart money has already exited.

China is offloading US bonds, while Japan is actually taking them on? That logic is a bit crazy; it feels like something's about to go wrong. US debt interest payments are almost hitting one trillion, and they still dare to say it's risk-free—that's just ridiculous. Gold has been rising steadily; smart money has already moved out. De-dollarization is no longer a secret; it's obvious to everyone. Instead of waiting for cracks to appear, it's better to start allocating to non-traditional assets now. Whoever can catch the bottom in this wave will be the winner.

China is reducing its holdings of US debt, while Japan and the UK are actually increasing theirs? That logic is quite interesting, it seems everyone is calculating for themselves... --- 38 trillion USD in US debt with trillion-dollar interest payments, basically they can't keep playing this game anymore, sooner or later they'll need to find a new place to move their money. --- Gold hitting new highs, USD liquidity spreading everywhere... Isn't this just brewing a major upheaval? --- Instead of saying de-dollarization, it's more like looking for the next "risk-free" trick, haha. --- Those independently operated sectors should now quietly start positioning themselves; the wind is coming. --- Japan and the UK are still taking on the risk? Wake up, everyone. When the tide goes out, you'll see who isn't wearing pants.
