China and Japan are by far the largest of the FOREIGN holders of US government debt followed by the UK and “Oil Exporters” with much lower holdings.

Most of the US government debt is not owned by foreign interests at all, but is owned by Americans and American companies including many investment concerns, insurance companies, banks, investment banks, and pension funds.
