From Barron's:

<<< Foreigners own over $6.4 trillion of U.S. assets (66% of U.S. gross domestic
product), compared with U.S. holdings of foreign assets of $4.7 trillion (48%
of U.S. GDP). In 1990, foreigners owned assets valued at just 33% of GDP.
On net, the U.S. has an unprecedented asset imbalance equal to 18% of U.S.
GDP.

Foreigners also own a record 38% of the U.S. Treasury market. Excluding
securities owned by the Fed, foreigners own an astounding 44% of the liquid
government securities market. They also own a record 20% of the U.S.
corporate bond market. To put these figures in perspective, foreigners own
just 8% of the U.S. equity market, 14% if you include foreign direct
investment in U.S. companies. Simply put, the bond market is on the front line
if international investors shun dollar-denominated assets. >>>
