Then we'd have to learn Chinese as a second language.

WW3 is not currently being fought through economics. While I won't deny that an economic war may be occurring, labeling it as World War Three is folly. WW3 will most undoubtedly kick off when the US economy finally tanks, bringing the rest of the world with it, and things become extremely hard for everyone. There is no way China would ever be able to buy any country if it went broke and unable to pay its bills. For one each of these countries has a military and letting another country buy its assets could be seen as an act of war. No country would ever sell its sovereignty to pay its bills.
