That probably means that China has no problems paying back debt denominated in US$.

I don't know about the dynamics of this selloff. It's very hard to argue without seeing the whole picture but it indicates that _something_ is going on.

They've been selling US debt to keep the Yuan strong (ie, sell it in exchange for Yuan, and then 'remove' the Yuan from circulation)
