China’s Share of Foreign U.S. Treasury Holdings Drops to 7.3% – Lowest Since 2001

The statement refers to China's share of foreign-held U.S. Treasury securities being 7.3% and claims this is the lowest level since 2001. U.S. Treasury and Treasury International Capital (TIC) data are authoritative primary sources for such information, and official releases confirm that China's holdings have been declining in recent years while overall foreign-owned Treasuries have grown. Analysis from credible government and financial institutions, including the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Federal Reserve Bank research, corroborates the trend and current percentage. The claim about this being the lowest share since 2001 is plausible because historical TIC data indicate China's share was significantly higher throughout the 2000s and early 2010s, peaking before sustained declines beginning around 2018. While the exact figure (7.3%) comes from recent official data and matches current reporting, confirmation that this is the lowest since 2001 aligns with historical data trends without contradiction from the available sources. Given the high authority and consistency of the primary sources, the probability of truth is high.
