I don't know why, I always hesitate to believe even though the metrics seem from a reliable source.
There is no real list of creditor nations, just a couple of articles stating that Japan is still on top (despite also being pretty high up on the top-debtor nations list that actually exists) and pointing out the importance of China and Russia. This is an old idea which is certainly more complex than three lists: that we kind of live off borrowed wealth. I sometimes wonder how advanced in democratic, scientific and humanistic terms Europe and the US would be without foreign credits.
