This is the case for most industrialized nations, which is why economists are usually more concerned with foriegn debt then domestic debt. For Canada, the majority of our debt is due to "Canada Savings Bonds", I would suspect the same is true in the US (only "treasury bonds" rather then CSB) but I do not know for sure. It is also important to look at what is owed to each country by other countries so that we only look at the net debt.

I would start with Italy since they basically let people come right on in from North Africa and just shoe them through and into another country then they all wind up some how in England, most of them sitting in imigration holding prisons awaiting deportation of amnesty in your country.
Huh?

So what you guys are saying is that we need debt, and no country should ever pay off their whole debt? What would happen if just one country payed off all their debt???

Hrmmm they could nuke us... or they could ask for them to repay the debt we bought from them....
Of course the reason for china to buy debt is now a bit different since they have floated their currancy and its no longer tied to the the US dollar...
this reminds me of grandma in rounders, buying up all the debt. i think we should have matt damon play them in a game of texas hold 'em.

anyways basically alot of EU nations have been known to push illegal imigrants, or people seeking refugee or political amnesty westward towards the UK.
Italy is especially bad as they take alot of the people that cross from north africa and send them right out of Italy instead of dealing with them.
Better for the UK, I reckon. As I recall it, the population in some countries is not only getting older but it's shrinking as well. Unless there's an influx of immigrants, they can bid their wealth farewell.
UK > Continent.
(Except for Russia, the UK kicks almost as much ass as Russia )
