FALSE. Whoever posted this doesn't know what tey are talking about. Japan and China do NOT OWE US MONEY. Japan and China OWN US treasury bills which means that the US OWE them money, not the other way around. Japan and China are the biggest buyers of US treasury bills which means they bought US bonds to be paid back in the future. Anyone can buy US treasury bills at a rate. That means you are loaning the US government money and they are giving you a promissory note that states the money will be paid back at a later date with an agreed interest. Japan and China are the biggest buyers of these bills hence the US govt owes them this money. The US is the biggest debtor nation on Earth and by a very wide margin, No one is even close. 3 Likes 1 Share |

You have just succeeded in giving false information. This data you quoted is the debt owed by the United States and not those owing the United States. Moderator may need to bring down this post because it's entirely false. Even the original writer of that article in Yahoo Finance, Zarah Hamid, did not even know what she was writing. How can countries who are holders of your debt (bought United States Government issued Bonds) be referred to as owing the United States? Shame! God1000: 1 Like |

backbone503: Do you know the United States is the biggest debtor in the world. Moreover, it is the United States owing China that amount, not China owing the United States. |
Re: 20 Countries That Owe US Money by casualobserver: 12:15pm On Apr 09 |
God1000: Fash20: It’s the other way round. This is a list of countries that the US owes money ( I.e countries that bought Us treasuries. Aka debt) not countries that owe the US. @God1000, This is what happens when ignoramuses just do copy and paste articles from the internet and are unable to spot the errors in the articles because they themselves have no knowledge of the subject matter. It is the the US that owes these countries not the other way round. You “own” a debt is different from “owe” a debt. It helps to understand English. The US owes the debt, these countries own the debt. The US is basically the worlds biggest debtor but they get away with it because they are the worlds reserve currency and they simply print more money. This is what the BRICS are trying to challenge. 1 Like 1 Share

Dittodat: I was confused too. Because I listened to a US economist who was asked about the consequence of the United States owing China so much money. The economist said it can be seen as China owning the United States economy. 1 Like 1 Share |

People of high intellect will not believe this propaganda. I think they are casting this misleading information in order to borrow more money and embezzle it. If one complains they would say even developed countries are owing gigantic amount of money to one country or another e.g China, UK, Japan etc are owing the US. May God help our dear nation. |

SouthSouth1914: The US has equally done alot of harm. No doubt they have underlining interests which have to be protected in all they do, but no country champions global peace like the US. Without America, religious extremism would have been a big plague. The world will never be safe in the hands of China and Russia. 1 Like |

sslcrypt: Do you know why,? Let me break it down for you using layman explanation. US always borrows to finance her economy and fight wars. So they might say we need to raise 2 trillion dollars. Some rich countries will come together to give them money. China does that a lot. Then US will give them "IOU" in form of bond or Treasury security. US will keep paying heavy interest on this loan. When that countries want to claim it's principal, it will resell that debt to other countries. US debts are lucrative because US pays high interest and they have never defaulted. Anytime you hear that US wants to raise the debt ceiling, this is what they do. You will be wondering why China is buying US debts. It serves as additional income for them as US keeps paying large interest on it. US owes Japan the largest money, follows by China. On the other hands, China has what is called "Road and belt initiative". This is a strategy where they will invest in form of infrastructure in poor countries, and the countries will be paying back. In summary, it is only rich countries, who has excess, that can afford the US bonds and Treasury while it is only poor countries that are targeted by China for its initiative. 2 Likes |

How is this possible? These are productive nations. There are hidden things about this debt. Something not clear on the surface. China was giving money to US until 2019. Don't you think, it should have something to do with Corona Virus! Who created that bioweapon, and why did China suffer it the most? Access Bank and Intercontinental Bank also played out here. |
