Isnt Japan forced to buy USA bonds?
Im sure that doesnt help its situation, either.
Printing yen to buy USD to buy USTs yielding >4% in dollar terms? It's like the best thing they could do. They are speculative attacking the yen, to buy harder assets, weakening the yen to inflate away the debt, and make their exports cheaper.

Why would the Japanese care about US inflation? JGB rates are 0%. The yen has lost almost 40% of its value against the USD in the past 5 years. 4% USD yeild is fantastic for them.
