Not a forecast (claim audit 2026-09-26, operator-approved): in the 2026-05-21 lecture Jiang described something already true or under way. He states in present-perfect terms that the Chinese 'have been selling' treasuries, describing an already-ongoing trend rather than forecasting a future action.
