I hate to be rude but what you have posted here is really stupid. If fact it is the complete opposite of what would happen. China's entire economy is dependent on U.S. Purchase of their Goods. If the U.S. right now stopped all Chinese Imports to the United States as well as stopped making payments on Chinese Loans....what would actually happen?

China's Economy would be decimated in a matter of DAY's. The Chinese Stock Market would collapse. China's Goods that the U.S. purchases are nothing that we cannot do without. But here is the BIG MISTAKE China has made....THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

CHINA is NO MATCH FOR THE UNITED STATES MILITARY. Plus the U.S. has achieved the development of TWO ABM SYSTEMS one of which is fully active...that being the Upgrade of standard SM-3 Missiles which are aboard every Aegis Cruiser in every U.S. Carrier Battle Group as well as another Aircraft Launched Version that is placed on F-15C's. The second ABM system is not fully deployed yet but it is partially active with two Nuclear Powered Direct Energy Lasers known as the FEL or Free Electron Laser...and there is an unknown number of these at sea. Every Aegis Cruiser as well as every U.S. Aircraft Carrier will be fitted with a THIRD NUCLEAR REACTOR to power the FEL and Target and Acquisition tests have already occurred and one was even made public as a Non-Nuclear FEL using Networked Super Computers held steady a beam on a Rocking Boat at sea.

This combination of ABM Shields makes a Nuclear ICBM Strike on the U.S. all but impossible. So without a sufficient Nuclear Deterrent...China's Massive Army is useless because China has no possible way to Force Project them. The U.S. Navy would have a Field Day never mind our Attack Sub Forces which are the Best in the World....sinking Chinese Ship after Ship after Ship. China could not even make a successful landing on Taiwan. So China...has made the Right Decision...it has decided to work with the U.S....it's Largest Trading Partner and if you notice you don't hear any calls for attacking Taiwan anymore and China has been very helpful reigning in North Korea.

You cannot compare the Chinese Military to the U.S. Military and for that matter...the U.S. Military has some VERY POWERFUL NON-NUCLEAR WEAPONS that are of a Highly Secret Nature. The Russians know this...we had to TELL CHINA. But that was a good tactic as WAR is always more likely when One side does not know the Capabilities of the Other Side. Also...regardless of the CRAP coming out of Putin's Mouth...He knows very well that the U.S. Military is a Battle Hardened Highly Technical Integrated Branch actionable war machine. It is estimated that Russian Military Equipment is in such a state of disrepair that Russia could only get 20% actually Battle Ready. This and the fact that Russia could not even supply a tiny Military Force sent to Bosnia which had to get help from British Soldiers for Food and Water.

Russia does have a large Nuclear Force but again...the question of what condition it is in as Nuclear Weapons must be in a constant state of Maintenance as Nuclear Weapons Grade Fuel must be continually changed out due to Radioactive Neutron Decay as well as Russian poor standard of long lasting SOLID FUEL. The U.S. had a recent Breakthrough with solid fuel making a fuel that was not only long lasting and safe but have the ability to produce great amounts of power for thrust an be long burning as was demonstrated when a U.S. Navy SM-3 Missile not only Destroyed a Satellite that was failing and traveling in orbit at over 18,000 Miles per Hour... .but also scored a direct hit on the HYDRAZINE BOOSTER TANK...a Deadly Poisonous Rocket Booster Fuel which was directly targeted and destroyed as this was watched by Telescopes on the Ground.

So...you have your post backwards...the U.S. Holds all the Cards...and without U.S. Protection of International Shipping Lanes as neither the Chinese or the Russians have this ability...Chinese Oil Shipments could possibly not reach their destination to China which would be a disaster. In EVERY ASPECT the U.S.can go without Chinese Products and with very advanced Energy Generation Tech...if it were not for Greedy Oil Corps....and it came down to war...the U.S. would not need OIL EITHER. A Chinese Admiral who just last year was invited to watch U.S. Military Exercises...stated...much to the Chagrin of his Communist Bosses...that the U.S. has nothing to fear from China Militarily and that the Chinese were decades and in some areas close to a CENTURY behind the U.S. SI
