We should state that if the ChiComs attack Taiwan, our debt to them is zero due to intellectual theft and the attack on a free people.
China owes us about as much as we owe them (a little over one trillion). The differences being that China’s government owns the U.S. treasuries, of which we make our payments for regularly. That’s unlike China not paying on its treasuries, of which American citizens (really their heirs at this point) aren’t being paid what’s owed them.
