by Summary:
To consolidate its post-pandemic growth momentum in 2021, China should not be in a rush to exit from expansionary fiscal and monetary policy. The government may have to issue more bonds than planned, and the People’s Bank of China may need to implement quantitative easing to facilitate this.The phrase "implement quantitative easing to facilitate this" means that the central bank purchase the portion of the issue required to support the market. This is consistent with MMT's overt monetary financing. The simpler method is just to have the central bank take the issue in first place. The simplest solution is just to issue the currency and leave the reserves created on balance. This would only be matter of change regulation to enable it. The government can always issue the amount of currency

The government can always issue the amount of currency needed to employ idle real resources and to fund production of needed resources. China appears to get this already, at least in part. It has been explained to them by Western heterodox economists, e.g, Michael Hudson.
