Out of ~32 billion in debt, 9 trillion is foreign holders, the remaining being predominately directly owned by US banks, the Federal Reserve, and Social Security. The largest holder of that 9 trillion is Japan with 1.05 trillion, then China with 759 billion, and then the UK with 722 billion. So Chyna owns ~2% of the whole pot.
Doesn't "China (please use PDJT pronouncement ) " own a lot of the debt ? What if our VSGPDJT said "We'll gladly pay you Tuesday "?
