China has steadily reduced its holdings of US Treasury securities over the past decade, cutting them by roughly half from their peak of more than $1.3 trillion in 2013.
As of the latest official data for February 2026, mainland China held $693.3 billion in US Treasuries, down slightly from $694.4 billion in January. This marks one of the lowest levels since 2008 and places China as the third-largest foreign holder, behind Japan and the United Kingdom.
