Thank you for your reply. Very informative.

Considering the amount of debt the U.S. owes to China, is there any chance china would call on the u.s. to pay it in a lump sum? If so, how would the u.s. manage to? How would China enforce it?

If china raises the costs for manufactured items and/or labor, how would that affect u.s. jobs and the u.s. economy.
