External debt is the sum total of nation's trade deficits. Japan does not have an external debt.

That was funny!

Why are you laughing? Are you a clown? Our external debt is much larger on a per capita basis

Why are you laughing?

Because you were wrong, the opposite of right.

Our external debt is much larger on a per capita basis

I don't care how big our internal or our external debt is. The important thing is how large our total debt is. Their total debt is 170% of GDP while ours is 64.7% of GDP.

You prefer their debt level to ours? You're making me laugh, again.
