we as a nation owe more to china than anyone else

Wrong!

To Whom Does the U.S. Government Really Owe Money?

really-owe-money/

We owe China a piddly 9.5% of the debt.

42.1% is owed to the US (individuals and institutions) with an
additional 17.9% which is owed to the Social Security Trust Fund. In
other words, we owe 60% of the debt to ourselves, which is more than SIX
times what we owe China.
