“Foreign investors held $7.071 trillion in U.S. Treasuries in September, down from $7.083 trillion the previous month, the Treasury Department report said. Japan and China’s Treasury holdings fell in September to $1.276 trillion and $1.061 trillion, respectively. Japan remains the largest holder of U.S. Treasuries.”
