How do the widening yield differentials between Chinese and U.S. sovereign bonds impact China's economy and investor sentiment?

The surge in Chinese sovereign bond purchases is directly tied to weak loan demand from businesses and consumers, a consequence of broader economic uncertainty including potential tariffs. This situation underscores the limited effectiveness of Beijing's stimulus efforts thus far and the increasing reliance on government bonds as a safe-haven asset. The resulting low yields, while beneficial for Beijing's funding costs, also signal a lack of robust private sector investment and weak consumer confidence.
