So it reported China was reversing its bond buying policy -- even though no one in China was saying that.

Why did Bloomberg run the story without getting China's side of the story?

The next day, Agence France Presse reported:

China on Thursday denied a report that it may slow or cease its purchases of US Treasury bonds, which sent the dollar falling.

Bloomberg News reported Wednesday that officials reviewing China's foreign-exchange holdings had recommended slowing or halting purchases of US Treasuries, citing people familiar with the matter.

"We think this story could be quoting a mistaken source or it could also be a piece of fake news," the State Administration of Foreign Exchange said in a statement on its website.

No apology.

No retraction.

No credibility.

This is the Dark Ages of American journalism, not because of Trump but because of frauds like Mike Bloomberg.

You kids are adorable.

Of course it was fake news. It was a story promulgated by China to let the portly orange moron who is boss.

What do you think happens to interest rates in the U.S. if China stops buying T-Bills?

Christ all mighty. Did you bother to look at what Bloomberg reported?? OBVIOUSLY NOT!'

Here is the actual report as it aired on TV: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...re-said-to-view-treasuries-as-less-attractive

If you ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL WORDS USED...(you don't need to divine intent like you do with our incompetent President)...you will CLEARLY understand what was reported and what was not reported. it was NOT reported that China is reducing purchases. It was clearly reported that this was an idea or recommendation being floated. It was just as clearly reported (around 2:00- 2:05 mark) that no official confirmation of this is likely.

GURPS YOU ARE FAKE NEWS.

Senior government officials in Beijing reviewing the nation’s foreign-exchange holdings have recommended slowing or halting purchases of U.S. Treasuries, according to people familiar with the matter.

So, the choices are (1.) Bloomberg made the story completely up, or (2.) someone in China fed a third party (people familiar with the matter) false information and had them give it to Bloomberg knowing that Bloomberg would run with it.

In years past I'd say #2 was more likely. Today who knows. Either way fake news.

Get a clue child. Ole Tranny made a HUGE deal out of my question of "how does one take early tax credit on something never billed". Tranny deserves every last bit of ridicule earned from being so wrong.

Oh..and go #### yourself...kid.
