Trump: The boxes, you know? Mar-a-Lago, have you seen the last five or six presidents? What they did. They took it there in Chinese laundries. They're stored in storage houses where the windows and doors are broken. It's a disgrace.

is what I'm trying to understand, or rather, understand what YOU think it means.

Not to tell you something you may already be aware of, but all of the Treasury Securities held by foreign banks have maturity dates. On the date a given series of bonds matures, the US Treasury redeems them at par, in full, without question to whomever the holder of those securities are, be it the Chinese or your Aunt Polly.

I've read on DU in the past, posts that give the impression that the holder of a bond, be they the Chinese or whoever, can demand they be redeemed at any time ( I was told once that they could "call in their markers", a notion utterly fabricated out of whole cloth), and that is absolutely not how it works. As you indicate, the Chinese can "dump" or offer for sale on the secondary market, any amount they hold for that matter, but flooding the market with too many at once would hurt them because the price of the bonds to fall and thus they would get less than they might have paid for them in the first place.

I'm just trying to ensure you aren't under the impression that the holder of a bond can waltz up to the Treasury Department and demand a bond be redeemed before its maturity date.

And FWIW, no representative from the US Government walked up to the Chinese Central Bank (or whatever entity in question), hat in hand and asked to borrow a trillion or two. That's also not how it works.

In fact, on a GDP basis is nearly at par.
On a per capita GDP basis the US is a net creditor of shared debt holding.
The "China holds our debt" thing I'd a right wing scare tactic.
Please don't buy into it.
Besides, anything close to balance in codependent debt is a strong hedge against hot war. This isn't just trade, which is of course, important.
But a war assures that, absent total conquest, neither country ever gets their money back.
The debt they hold is a liability approaching zero.

All too often, it's too inconvenient for his ego.

Anyway, here's the real story:

NARA found an old Chinese restaurant and bowling alley nearby Texas A&M University — where the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum is located — that it leased from the General Services Administration, which is responsible for securing buildings for government operations. The building was completely renovated according to NARA standards and the documents never left the possession of NARA staff.

If he were to say anything that was true they would not believe him at this point. He has them primed and ready to believe the most ridiculous BS and has been doing it for 6 years. A large population of the US should be in the loony bin at this point.

From all my studies in the 80's the mention of the number was commonly associated to the bible, in particular revelations.

I could be wrong, but I have read several manuscripts over the years...but memories do fade over time.
