A pie chart on our debt that you can Google, will show that the most debt owed by this country is to its people, around four trillion; while the debt to China is a measly one trillion. The US owes more to the SS fund at over two trillion, than to the Chinese. Why should they borrow from someone they have to pay back, when they can borrow/steal from the American people with impunity.
