What can China get in return for selling American debt?
In most cases, China's selling of US debt is converted into US dollars, or it may be converted into reserves such as oil and gas, or high-quality assets such as gold, minerals and high-tech enterprises.

A simple comparison is equivalent to investors selling listed company bonds in their accounts and replacing them with RMB. The relationship between US dollar and US debt is that US dollar is currency, US debt is bond, US dollar can be used for shopping, and US debt cannot be used for shopping and is not currency, which is equivalent to corporate bonds and treasury bills. It is the basis for companies or countries to issue loans to foreign countries, and repay the principal and interest at maturity.

What is selling US debt?

Selling U.S. debt means selling U.S. treasury bonds or bonds held. Us treasury bonds are bonds issued by us government departments, generally referring to national bonds issued by the us treasury on behalf of the us federal government. Before the start of the trade war, China held the largest amount of US debt, but after the end of the trade war, China sold a lot of US debt, and the amount of US national debt was closely related to political and economic factors.
