From the WSJ:

“The stockpile — the world’s largest currency reserves — grew by $177.87 billion in the quarter to $2.132 trillion, the largest quarterly rise on record. In May, China also increased its importance for U.S. policy makers, lifting its Treasury holdings by $38 billion to a total of $801.5 billion.

While Japan and Russia cut their Treasury holdings in May, China ramped up its purchases, posting the biggest one-month increase since October. China now has more than 20% of total Treasury holdings among foreign central banks and nearly matches the total amount Japan and Russia hold together.”
