The relations between countries resemble relationships between people. Some countries, same as human beings, borrow money heavily from the other nations from time to time. Recently, China has limited the amount of the financial aid it allocates. Nevertheless, it can compete for the title of the Best Neighbor. The United States alone had to pay off a debt of $1.3167 trillion. One of the U.S. Treasury employees leaked this information to the public. The journalists of one reputable economic print media monitor the governmental websites seeking for the latest news. The U.S. Department of the Treasury published the confidential information on the real amount of money America owes China. Despite the fact that the data leak was swiftly “fixed”, the journalists had enough time to grasp the fact. Last autumn, the newsmen found out that Beijing boosted its holdings of the U.S. Treasury; in November, for example, the nation purchased bonds totaling $12.2 billion. Although the debt of the Unites States is changing all the time, it is hard to place on record the real debt size. However, in the case of China, that became possible. Japan also increased its holdings in the U.S. government debt to $1.1864 trillion. The total amount of money the Unites States owes to the world is $17 trillion.
