All these dumbass comments above about 8T in ust ...Japan is the largest holder, $3T? 3.5T? China and Russia stopped buying a decade ago...China's just got some long dated they will let expire anyway or hold just for trade collateral to continue.

The bond market for American bonds is strong, people love dollars. Depends on what rate they are though, could end up in a haircut if they are the lower rate bonds.
