On April 14, according to data released by the U.S. Treasury in March, the total federal debt of the United States has surpassed $39 trillion for the first time. Of this amount, $31.4 trillion is public debt held by domestic and foreign investors, while $7.6 trillion is intragovernmental debt, primarily generated through programs like Social Security. In terms of public debt, domestic investors hold $17.7 trillion in U.S. Treasury securities, nearly double the amount held by foreign investors ($9.3 trillion). Mutual funds and pension funds are the largest public holders, collectively owning $6.6 trillion. The Federal Reserve holds $4.4 trillion in U.S. Treasury securities, exceeding the total held by the three largest foreign creditors—Japan, the United Kingdom, and China. Additionally, Warren Buffett, through Berkshire Hathaway, is the largest non-government investor in U.S. Treasury securities, with holdings valued at $339 billion as of the fourth quarter of 2025.

China Warns of Strong Countermeasures if U.S. Imposes Tariffs Over Iran Allegations
On April 14, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiajun held a regular press conference. During the conference, a reporter asked about recent media reports claiming that China is providing military support to Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that if it is found that China is supplying weapons to Iran, the U.S. will impose a 50% tariff on China. Guo Jiajun responded that China has previously stated its position on this matter. He reiterated that China consistently adopts a prudent and responsible attitude regarding military exports, implementing strict controls in accordance with its own export control laws and international obligations, and that the related reports are purely fabricated. 'If the U.S. insists on using this as an excuse to impose tariffs on China, China will undoubtedly take strong countermeasures,' Guo Jiajun stated. (Beijing Daily) -
