you said

China owns 19% of our debt,
about $1.1 trillion
China owns about $1.1 trillion in U.S. debt, or a bit more than the amount Japan owns.


That is also wrong in another way (besides the % held by China being far lower than 19% of the total US national debt).

They now own less than Japan, have for a fairly long time.
