How Much U.S. Debt Does China Own? - Bonds

China's Large Position in U.S. Treasuries

Given the size of the U.S. debt – $17.6 trillion as of June 30, 2014 - it should come as no surprise that the largest investors in U.S. Treasuries are other governments and central banks.

China, which owned an estimated $1.268 trillion in U.S. Treasuries, is the number-one investor among foreign governments, according to the June 2014 figures released by the U.S. Treasury. This amounts to over 21% of the U.S. debt held overseas and about 7.2% of the United States’ total debt load.

Note:

Hilary Clinton says it is hard to criticize your banker's human rights policies.



The U.S. Debt as of June 30, 2014 was $17.6 trillion and China held $1.268 trillion or 7.2% and this brings some risk in Foreign Policy matters.
