I don't blame for how China feels. The USA has been less than inspiring lately to the world:

China's official news agency has called for the creation of a "de-Americanised world", saying the destinies of people should not be left in the hands of a hypocritical nation with a dysfunctional government. Heaping criticism and caustic ridicule on Washington, the Xinhua news agency called the US a civilian slayer, prisoner torturer and meddler in others' affairs, and said the 'Pax Americana' was a failure on all fronts.

If China begins to defund America, then we are truly screwed.

Yes, because China is a model of a country that all people would want to live. They have no public political divides - a little hard to do it in public when you are in a jail cell. They have little problems with people not holding a job - plenty of menial jobs in the fields and jail, even execution, for those that fail to pay their debts. Indeed, the have the ideal penal system - rob people too much and you get death instead of a long prison term. Speaking of which, China is a prime example of how a nation can encourage organ donations - they have special vans to do the deed and plenty of donors they can harvest organs from on the spot, maybe we ought to take organs from the executed too. It is also nice how they keep the cost of their penal system down - just limit appeals, immediate commencement of the punishment, and charge the family if the condemned for the price if execution.

I think I'll keep my bickering politicians, annoying as they are.

yet they hold large amounts of our national debt. If anyone does not like China's politics, then they should fax their representitives and tell them to get our fiscal house in order...because China is evil.

Are we supposed to be more like the Chinese and start murdering female infants, kidnap the ones who survive to throw them in Olympic gymnastics camp and forget how to drive?

If China called in our debt, couldn't we just call in some of the debt owed to us? The UK owes us roughly the same amount we owe China.

People like to talk about the US's foreign debt and mention that we're the largest borrower of money in the world. But for some reason they never talk about the fact that we're also the largest lender of money in the world. In fact, we owe less money to our debtees then our debtors owe to us. In the foreign debt game, the US is winning by several trillion dollars.
