In 2013 The Fed Bought 150% More Treasurys Than All Foreigners Combined (ZeroHedge, Feb 20, 2014):

Now that we have the full history of foreign Treasury purchases in 2013, we know the following: in December 2012 total US paper held by foreigners was $5,573.8 billion; one year later it rose to $5.794.9 billion or a $221 billion increase.
