6. I believe that we actually owe Japan more than we owe to China.

While the US has the largest external debt (money owed to other countries) in the world at about $10 trillion, Great Britain is not far behind at $8 trillion, Germany at $4 trillion, France at $3.5 trillion, and the Netherlands at $1.9 trillion. All those countries have the disadvantage of being much smaller than the US, so that they owe from 1.5 to 4.8 times as much per capita compared to US citizens.
