I'm not sure of the current borrowing distribution, but my understanding is the chinese are still the single largest foreign 'investor'.

I think the real smoke screen is libs like jm explaining to us who are friends are in the world, who should be our friends, which crisis gets fanned, which one gets ignored. All along, the left's main agenda is domestic, like their funding and spending ideas, and it's a huge win for them when social engineering progresses off the radar.
