China has increased its holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds (aka U.S. government debt).  Last year at this same time China held $1.16 trillion USD of U.S. bonds, now it’s at $1.22 trillion.

According to the U.S. Treasury, the $9.16 billion increase took place in February.  Apparently China still thinks the U.S. is good for the money.
