Spanish term or phrase: sacar al mercado repentina y masivamente deuda americana
Cuando se produjo la crisis financiera del 2008, Rusia se dirigió a China pidiéndole **sacar al mercado repentina y masivamente deuda americana,** quizá simplemente como una venganza por la frustración que les sigue produciendo la pérdida de la guerra fría. En cualquier caso, si lo hubiesen llevado a la práctica, en quince días hubiera desaparecido la leche de los supermercados, pues el hundimiento del valor de los bonos del Tesoro USA, y del dólar como resultado de ello, hubiese paralizado el flujo mundial del crédito y las empresas no encontrarían financiación para fabricar productos, ni los particulares para comprarlos. Es evidente que la crisis del 29 se hubiera convertido en una pequeña tormenta comparada a las consecuencias de esta.


Many thanks for your suggestions!

to suddenly sell a massive amount of US debt


Explanation:
China holds huge amounts of US government bonds (Treasurys) and if it were to sell them in large quantities it would have a significant impact on financial markets and the economy.
