What can the Chinese government do to protect the value of ifs US$1.3 trillion in US bonds if the US government goes into default?
Just hold on to it. First default is unlikely. Second even if it happens it would be because of political stalemate and not because of US inability to repay. Political stalemates eventually end.In fact, in case of US default, and if the US dollar loses value, then the best short-term investment you could have is buy more US dollars. A solid asset in stress, is a rare opportunity which real investors do not miss. Of course, 99% of the other fake investors can quickly panic and lose a small fortune. This happens in every kind of stress sale.
What is happening at China-India border?
WASHINGTON: Expressing concern over the Doklam standoff between India and China, an influential US lawmaker has accused Beijing of taking provocative steps that have resulted in the escalation of tensions between the two Asian giants."I'm very concerned about what is happening on Doklam Plateau. I believe that China has taken certain provocative steps that have escalated into the current standoff on the plateau," Raja Krishnamoorthi, the Congressman from Illinois, said.Mr Krishnamoorthi, 44, just returned from a short visit to India during which he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi this week and had a discussion on a wide range of issues. Though, He made it clear that the standoff issue between China and India did not come up during his meeting with the prime minister in New Delhi.Talking about his views on the standoff, he said, "I have urged a diplomatic solution, a peaceful diplomatic solution to the current standoff, and I'm very hopeful that it can come about.""It's very important that no country take provocative steps, especially in border disputes in the region," said Mr Krishnamoorthi in response to a question.The US has maintained its silence on the Sikkim standoff between the armies of India and China. "We have seen these reports (on the standoff). We refer you to the Governments of India, China, and Bhutan for further information," a State Department spokesperson told news agency PTI when asked about the American stand on the current Doklam standoff.The US, last month also had avoided commenting on the Sikkim standoff.Meanwhile, analysts here criticised China for its aggressive stance.Will Edwards, an Asia-Pacific and defense analyst at The Cipher Brief, recently wrote that the Chinese road could have serious strategic implications for India's defence of its home territory due to a geographic feature that leaves India vulnerable."Allowing the Chinese road project to continue could provide Beijing with an avenue for its troops to strike the 'Chicken's Neck', a narrow strip of land connecting India's northeastern states to the rest of the country that could be severed in the event of conflict," he wrote.

Is allegation correct that China is pursuing debt-trap diplomacy?
Not correct.My opinion: Debt trap is a familar idea from the US.Let us see what the embassy of the US in China post on its Weibo. The same project, if the western countries do, all are correct. If China do, all are traps.I personally doubt that the US do not use the same standard to estimate a project. In the views of the US government on China, they always make conclusion before finding evidence. So If they want to say China is a bastard, then they collect the evidence only say China is bad, though there are a lot of evidence prove that the conclusion about China is false.The origin just like this, some people want to teach Chinese something, they think China is not as so-called perpect as they want, so they want Chinese people to do what they want, for example, hate the government ,hate CCP.https://www.quora.com/share/The-Chinese-people-may-be-happy-with-their-government-now-but-what-if-that-changes-in-the-future-Why-shouldnt-we-make-China-a-democracy-so-the-Chinese-people-have-the-option-to-peacefully-elect-their-government-every-few-years-3?ch=10&share=a06bd374And thisKarl Deutsch's answer to What's the most widely held misconception about China that you know to be false?Well, I have learnt a intersting phrase from Chinese internet, 万能杠律. That’s means as long as the Internet troll want to wrangle with others, the motive and point will not be a problem.And thisKarl Deutsch's answer to Is the Chinese government as bad as the Western mainstream media makes them out to be?So I want to say the OBOR(One Belt and One Road initiative) is not perfect, if China has some errors in the project, we can critcize, we can give them good suggestions to improve that. Do something not as the US embassy did, it is too shameful.Some people will say, US is not perfect but can be forgived,and the US is better than China anyway.But it is too strange that Why are people reluctant to tolerate a non-perfect China? Let me ask the question, because they are one-party system, communism , and different with us, and developing fast, we hate this, we hate a strong China in the world.IF Chinese people have the same logic, the western countries will be bastards too, and they have a resonable excuse.The allience of UK and France has burned the Winter palace （圆明园）of China,but let us see their reaction after the Notre Dame de Paris damaged in a disasterous fire.They have shown their deep sympathy. In China’s proverb, 以德报怨, requite injury with kindness.
