The biggest holders of US debt are neither China nor the Fed.
The biggest holders of US debt are American investors and institutions.

Funny how people are worried if the Fed made any changes when the economy is reopening with people going back to work. Then there’s $1.9t stimulus done, $2.5t now proposed, and $1t more hinted coming later this year. And those critics have never seen inflation in their lives

Global GDP will likely rise enough to fully recover from 2020 slump. However, the jobs recovery is much slower and paindul, and that is what we should be worried about, not aggregate GDP driven by debt and government spending. pic.twitter.com/PAgCv7bKFk
