China could dump US debt, and it is a tactic that that has been enshrined in their national defense policy. But they would only do that as a prelude to actual war. Doing it in any other fashion would certainly backfire. The US has the civil society to buffer the effects. China doesn't. The US would sink into economic chaos, but the Chinese Communist Party would be literally torn apart by a billion angry Chinese peasants.
Washington DC delenda est.

The more the time passes, the more I think that the United in USA is a misnomer. But then, what do I know? Maybe you like the liberty to work as a driver for Uber and pay more taxes than the 0.1%-ers.
You mean those Chinese peasants that never lived any better along the history? Me thinks you delude yourself - it will be the population of the cities that will try to torn the party, but I'm not that convinced they'll do so [soylentnews.org]
