Another graphic will get attention but as the text explains, is misleading.

It excludes new Chinese lending in 2022-24 and bilateral borrowing in 2024.

So net inflows/outflows (principal and interest) represented by the X in each year, were probably not negative in 2024

And partly so that Bessent can be criticised with his own words, if his short listed Fed Governor ends up doing QE

Ok, ok, maybe I’m reading too much in that bit.

Curiously he makes a better argument in justifying Trump calling for interest rate cuts
