I always wonder about this: Couldn't China just say (at any time), "America, give us our ten trillion dollars back. Now. ... ... ...No, right now please."

Idk what the actual figgure is, but I think every Americain would want to commit sepuku because there's no way anyone can pay them back, especially now. So that takes care of America...not sure about rest of world.

No. It's made up of - in part -Treasury securities: bonds, notes, t-bills. They mature at different times.

And China holds considerably less than "ten trillion".

Darn. I was going to use that in a load of other threads. How much does America owe China then?

Edit: I think the global war over the last puddle of oil (as described in Fallout 2) is a good possibility too.

Re: How will humanity end?

u are aware that even after the "last puddle of oil (stillman)", it starts all over again, as humans continue to increase in number and need fresh water.....and fresh water remains the same amount.....from OIL WARS to WATER WARS, sorry to bring the bad news.

The idea is there won't be time for water wars because we'll all be dead from the oil wars.

Although overcrowding is another cause of humainty's end in it's own right. Maybe a new disease will break out and with enough deaths, who is going to support/repair all the world's infrastructure?

if it comes to a catastrophe because of overcrowding, then in the end, even if like 90% just die, which is already pretty good for a disease, there will be enough humans left to continue on humanity

Its $350 billion, which is about 2.5% of our GPD this year. In other words, we could completely pay off our debt in about 9 days of work. Or we could completely pay off our debt to China using a fraction of Obama's stimuli money. Or we could cash in some of the $1.2 trillion of stock and other assets we own inside China (despite their rule that Chinese investors must own 51% of any business operating in China). Or for that matter we could simply stop buying their product and watch as their economy and society instantly exploded.

Kind of puts the "wtf china owns all our stuff and could call it in at any time" scare in perspective, eh?

Re: How will humanity end?

Is it really only $350b out of the 8 trillion or so? Interesting article.
