China's military build-out and bond market are telling two versions of the same story
A sub-Treasury Chinese ten-year yield landed the same week Beijing ratified its largest defence-budget increase in five years. The bond desk and the defence desk are reading the same balance sheet, and misreading it as two stories.

Desk note: Wire coverage on 15 June 2026 treated the Chinese military build-out and the bond-market rotation as separate stories. Monexus treats them as one: the same week, the same actor, two different ledgers showing the same underlying shift.
