Roughly 40% of the publicly held debt is held outside this country, the largest players being Japan followed China.

Thanks for supplying some numbers. Is that all owned by those foreign central bankers? Or is some owned by foreign individuals?

How much of all dollar denominated debt is owned by foreigners? If you blame foreigners for dominating (I don't think 40% is dominant) the Treasury market are you also blaming them for record low rates on corporates and junk bonds? How about those mortgage backed securities?
