Beijing has called on Washington to stabilize its precarious economy and protect its investments in America as the two sides opened strategic economic dialogues, which is overshadowed by the churning crisis of the global economy.

China is a major owner of US Treasury debt that finances Washington’s budget deficit. The US dollar’s recent weakness and the financial turmoil there have fueled Chinese anxiety about the safety of such holdings, analysts said.
