Updated April 17, 2017. The U.S. debt to China is $1.059 trillion, as of February 2017. That's 27.8 percent of the $3.8 trillion in Treasury bills, notes, and bonds held by foreign countries. The rest of the $19.9 trillion national debt is owned by either the American people or by the U.S. government itself.
'The problem for the U.S. is they owe China so much debt,' he [Shi Yinhong, director of the Center on American Studies at Beijingâs Renmin University] said, referring to the Chinese governmentâs vast holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds, estimated at about $1.5 trillion..he United States government would owe China exactly zero, if the Chinese government did not decide to buy up U.S. government debt with its dollar earnings instead of just selling them in international currency markets.
