Bipartisan anti-China hysteria is picking up on news the Asian giant?s holdings of U.S. Treasury securities increased by $12.2 billion to a record $1.32 trillion and that its foreign exchange holdings now stand at $3.8 trillion.

But until the renminbi, becomes an internationalized reserve currency, there is no way China could unload U.S. debt without it ruining its own economy.
