Let me clarify all of this..
Chinese are huge manufactures/exporters, especially to the US.
Chinese manufacturers export their goods in exchange for dollars.
The Chinese companies need to convert these dollars into yuan to pay the bills and employees.
The central bank of China, buys these dollars and provides the companies with yuan.
This makes the dollar scarce, and strong against a weak yuan, which leads to Chinese advantages with export/labor. Keeps it cheap to keep doing business there.
This leads to the central bank of China to have a huge forex reserve of dollars..
They spend these dollars by buying up our debt..
That’s the reason why they buy our debt, to help make them competitive and liquid in exports/manufacturing
