"As for dumping the dollars they do have since on one else wants then they are using them to buy oil till they can get rid of as many as possible," is a sentence with no meaning.

Even your outdated links (2011) show that Chinese are still buying except that not that much as they used to because the yield of US bonds changes.

They stopped buying back in 2011 genius...Sigh. They could buy $10 worth now and be the largest buyer ... If you believe CNN I have bridge I'd like to sell you really cheap...
China can now bypass Wall Street when buying US government debts, and it is the U.S. Treasury's first-ever direct relationship with a foreign government, Reuters reported Monday, citing the Treasury's documents.
"The direct access is an acknowledgement of critical importance of China to the U.S.' ability to fund its deficits. It gives China more power in bidding without showing its hands to Wall Street banks and other potential competition," Dariusz Kowalczyk, a senior economist at Crédit Agricole CIB, told the Global Times yesterday.

As part of this government contract, he was offered an insider's tour of fort knox.
As we know, its a federal reserve bank located within a military base.
He was shown the vaults, but wasn't allowed to go in. The vault door was opened,
and stacked to the ceiling were gold bullion bars. Im not sure if I should believe that. but there it is.

Gold is pointless. It only has value because people give it value.
It is just a stone & is only valued highly because it looks pretty.
True value can be measured in items that are essential; food, water, etc.
If the economy collapses you'll find that many people will be looking to offer services/trade for food, water, weapons and shelter.
As an individual, I suggest you turn your cash into those types of resources. Invest in a stockpile of food, giant water containers & weapons. If there's no huge crash in US then just sell the items in a couple years. If there is, you can
A. use them
B. trade them for other items/services during the crash
You'll be better off than people with gold & cash 100%.
