Obama favors Chinese over Japanese


China leapfrogged Japan, increasing its Treasury holdings by $43.6 billion to $585 billion, the report said. Japan, now the second-largest foreign owner of U.S. government debt, reduced its holdings by $12.8 billion to $573.2 billion.
Another negative Obama effect. China’s ownership of U.S. government debt has doubled since July 2005.

This was just waiting to happen.
