I'm surprised that this hasn't been picked up. This is huge news as China is one of only a few nations in the world that has the ability to fund our debt that has gone parabolic. If they start placing their dollars elsewhere well the implications are big. Not just that - the article states that the bonds would be denominated in Special Drawing Rights - NOT US dollars.
