AFP report that the Chinese ratings agency (Dagong Global Credit Rating Co. Ltd.) has stated that, because the USA had allowed the Dollar to weaken, the USA is in effect defaulting on its debts.
In November last year Dagong reduced its rating on the US to A+ from AA, citing a deteriorating intent and ability to repay debt.
The Chinese are far from happy with the weakening of the Dollar, as they hold over $1Trillion in Dollar denominated debt.
This issue will cause considerable friction between the US and China.
