It would be ideal if the majority of the treasury holdings were in individuals savings ...

Baloney. Why would you ever want individuals who are saving money to hold U.S. Treasury debt paying 2% annual interest for a ten-year term? China is probably dumping this debt because they realize that the rate of return doesn't even cover the loss of value due to inflation.

Were there no inflation (or deflation as phony fed statistics claim), a 2-3% annual guaranteed return would be "OK".
