We owe them money. We call them "Allies" because they are the other predominant force on the UN Security Council, along with the US. They call us allies because it's beneficial to them. They give us money. We clear the oil fields from Iraq straight through to the Hindu Kush and Chinas border.
It bears noting that Sun Tzu was Chinese and we really should heed his writings today. We are "allies" only as long as they need us to be. And the same can be said in reverse.
What happens when they get their oil flowing freely or we figure out a way to pay off that debt? I think most likely... WWIII.
