Foreign Holdings:
"As of September 2014, foreigners owned $6.06 trillion of U.S. debt, or approximately 47% of the debt held by the public of $12.8 trillion and 34% of the total debt of $17.8 trillion.[45] The largest holders were China, Japan, Belgium, the Caribbean banking centers, and oil exporters.[47] The share held by foreign governments has grown over time, rising from 13% of the public debt in 1988[48] to 25% in 2007.[49]
As of September 2014 the largest single holder of U.S. government debt was China, with 21% of all foreign-held U.S. Treasury securities (10% of total U.S. public debt).[50] China's holdings of government debt, as a percentage of all foreign-held government debt are up significantly since 2000 (when China held just 6 percent of all foreign-held U.S. Treasury securities).[51]"
