As of April 7, 2025, the US national debt stands at approximately $36.21 trillion. China holds approximately $768.6 billion in U.S. Treasury securities, representing about 8.9% of foreign-held U.S. debt. China is trying to be nice, all our corporations, factories and stores are there. Look it up.

China does not try to be nice? China pretends to be nice. They are ready to pounce. And have deep ports for their war ships everywhere. Belt and rd , remember. Divide and conquer

You can easily fact-check this on Google or AI. The U.S. military maintains hundreds of military installations, both inside the United States and overseas with at least 128 military bases in 55 countries and territories, as of February 2025. China has 4 military bases outside the country.

What the Chinese government has learned is that economic power and soft power is dramatically more effective than the threat of violence. Belt and Road seems like a post-colonial miracle after Africa's centuries of abuse from "the west."

In America, 99% of the wealth goes to a tiny percentage of people who horde it and move it to offshore banks to avoid taxes. In China, all that money goes to build infrastructure, to pay for things like national healthcare & free college. One creates growth, the other creates poverty.

Been waiting for that since bone spurs first publicly started to make fun of them.

😳

That debt is actually relatively small now.

The United States of America, a wholly owned subsidiary of China, Inc. Tighten your sphincters, ladies and germs. Gonna get rockin’ real soon.

Ugh

Yep get ready for the bond market to tank. If I were China I would start flooding the market with all the treasury notes I own saying I no longer feel secure in the US ability to honor these and want to sell. Who wants them? Cause a run in Tnotes.

They thought of that back when Trump was elected the first time.

the fed would buy them, it’s a little less than 1T. now if japan dumped as well it would be trouble

Didn’t Japan, s. Korea and China band together and say they were going to have a united front on the tariffs…just them saying that is awful for us

Gee…that didn’t take long! apple.news/AsmfAcXFGR2e...

We aren't taking this seriously enough. You are correct.

China already started buying more Gold.

I was wondering about this. It would hurt them too, but would hurt us more. With each passing day, the incentive for them to do this rises a little more. It's a shame the GOP will not act to stop trump. Only catastrophe can stop trump.

There's a rifle named Catastrophe?? I gotta look in to that.

Yep

Even us poor folks up here in Canada hold half a trillion dollars in American paper. I wonder if China wants to make a deal...

💯

We can givethem Musk to cover the debt.

Maybe we all will!

I'm in the UK. We could do with $600 bn right now

We just get attacked for being subsidized by the US on the daily. 🇨🇦
