Not really without destroying their own economy and the global market.
A few facts:
1 - Most of America's debt is owned by the American people
2 - Japan overtook China as the top foreign holder of American debt
3 - China can't relinquish that debt without destroying its own economy (and the world's too). Doing that would cause massive civil unrest in China.
This.

1.You know why American debt is owed by Americans? Because we send out more money than we bring in and pay for schooling to prepare us for jobs that have been outsourced to China
2. Japan needs America more than we need them. Their export is technology and automobiles. They actually bring jobs here
3. China destroying the dollar will do us way worse than it will do them. They will take a hard hit but we'll go into a great depression and another world war
There is no China economy without America. Don't be fooled by the talking points. American $ built that country.

Lol what? Just stop. STAHP. You're exposing yourself.
re: 1 - "Of the $12.9 trillion chunk of debt owned by Americans, $5.3 trillion is held by government trust funds such as Social Security, $5.1 trillion is held by individuals, pension funds and state and local governments and the remaining $2.5 trillion is held by the Federal Reserve."
re: 2 - Japan only builds vehicles in America to avoid tariffs from angry American lawmakers. They started moving their plants to America in the 70s after the American auto industry started to decline.
re: 3 - For now, China is dependent on American consumers. In the event of war, I the US Navy to block sea-lanes heading from China so...

The People's Liberation Army was no joke in the 1950s. They didn't give a fukk. Nearly destroyed a marine division. They haven't fought since 1979 though so who knows how they are now...

1 trillion out of 19. They'd also lose a ton if they sold it. On the other hand theyre economy is basically exporting goods to the US. They have no economy if we go elsewhere

The Bowditch was retrieving one vehicle when a Chinese warship pulled up, put a small boat in the water and retrieved the second UUV, officials say.
The Chinese ship would not respond to any U.S. radio inquiries about its actions, except to acknowledge that they received them, the Pentagon says. No shots were fired by either vehicle, and the Chinese ship left with a final message that it was returning to normal operations — and with the drone.

Sometimes you have to go to war, because others make it impossible not to do so. Russia and China have been stepping past the line for years.(I know, I've worked for the military) Putin is a dude that wouldn't mind trying to take over the world, and he has China as something of an ally. Eventually (and I mean probably soon) it's going down. The fight over control of natural resources is a big part...But all of it is a means to an end. The United States has been falling back to the pack. Even though it's still big, power has been shifting back over to Europe for a while now. The European Union, which is pretty much the United States of Europe, has a larger economy combined than the U.S. right now. The U.S. still spends more money on military defense than any other country, but that's because it's pretty much the U.S., Israel, and a few other allies against the world at this point.
World War 3 is going to happen, and it will be worse than both World War 1 & 2 combined because of the invention and development of nuclear weapons. The end of World War 2 was just a glimpse at what's going to happen in the next World War. All it takes is one greedy, self-obsessed, power hungry individual to cross a line and then 1/3 of the United States and the World is destroyed by atomic weaponry. Because once that first rocket gets launched and everybody realizes what it is, then more will follow. The Chernobyl nuclear disaster took place over 30 years ago, and they just completed a 100 year protective shelter over the site because of it being so destroyed by nuclear material, making it uninhabitable. That's the power and destruction of nuclear material. Nuclear weapons kill on contact (explosion,fire) and over time (radiation poisoning, cancer).
In the end, it's all about whether you're ready to go or not, because it can happen at any time at this point.
