Probably, these data will show only "the short term U.S. Treasury bonds" held by each government of the world.Above all, Japan holds a hell of a lot of various bonds in the US, It is said that Japan holds more bonds in the US when adding the middle term, the long term US Treasury bonds, and commercial Securities(GSE- MBS by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac etc..) held by private financial institutions.
And the total assets that Japan holds abroad amount to $5.5 trillion!! (Net Assets Total is $2.6 trillion ) though there are various views.
Only One small country holds
But I don't know whether all the assets are composed of the US treasury bonds and American commercial bank's bonds and securities. Probably, bonds and securities in advanced countries (Trade deficit countries), such as Europe and Australia, will be also included in its assets total. Most of the assets for $5.5 trillion was spent for the trade deficit countries anyway.(So the trade deficit countries are short of money now...)
Japan is substantially one of American colony, so I think that Japan considerably is forced to hold a lot of bonds and securities to support American economy. But Ironically, a lot of the assets will also be one of the causes which make many American jobless people. That is, It is because the US is outsourcing domestic economic activity for about $5.5 trillion overseas and merely keeps creating money out of nothing for its loss...
But most of the money out of nothing is invested and managed only in the financial market and hardly goes to the real market. So the center of the US economy changed into financial business which merely moves much money by dealing with various securities and bonds in the computer. So they recommended Americans to buy than work (Bread and Circus) because various securities and bonds, and property market also prosper if consumption activities prosper. If Americans consume more and more by using many credits cards (leverage consumption), the price of securities, bonds, and real estate price will rise more and then the money in the world will go to the US market.But to begin with, the bubble is brought by creating the money out of nothing and Japanese assets...
The dollar is a "Key currency" which can purchase everything all over the world, so the US can create money out of nothing simply, buy many products from overseas simply and enjoy bread and circus simply. I think that this is the dreamlike world and this means the American dream. So all countries want the dollar naturally.
However, the dream will end surely someday. And many Americans are awaking from this American dream now like Cob in the movie "Inception". I guess that "Inception" is a message movie to Americans and the real owners of America. But even if we think that we awoke from a dream and returned to a reality, in fact, that reality may be a new dream (I think the new dream is the world proposed by zeitgeist.).
(BTW I think the Cobb's top(totem) at the last scene of the movie kept spinning though
his children's wear changed. What do you think about this?)
So while we are alive, we repeat it throughout the whole life and may be not able to arrive at the world to be able to recognize a reality as the reality eternally.
Well, I'll get back the main topic. Securities of the dollar as the key currency are a fraud creating money out of nothing by FED, and the U.S. military power. The ignorance of sheeple in the world will be one of the securities too...These problems are the most troublesome we have to solve.
I think a solution for these troublesome problems may be equal to forcing Americans and the world not to tell a lie, not to abandon overweening greed (That is , to give up the magic dollar which can buy everything by creating out of nothing ), and not to own the gun.
In any case, first of all, not only the US but also the whole world need to learn
Buddhism and Quantum theory and reform people's awareness, i think...
