It could not be for the yield. Inflows on the US capital account are used by China to suppress its currency and give its exporters a massive trade advantage against US manufacturers. Imposing punitive tariffs on Chinese imports would provoke a tit-for-tat response and lead to a trade war. But a US withholding tax on foreign capital inflows could not provoke retaliation as China already strictly controls capital inflows. And exemptions to the withholding tax &#8212; only to countries who have reciprocal open capital markets &#8212; could be negotiated on a country-by-country basis as an extension of existing tax treaties.<\/p>\n<p>That would force currency manipulators to repatriate their investments in US capital markets.
