Is owing money to potential enemies a good thing? Maybe.

If China attacks Taiwan and in the process attacks us, what happens to that debt?

How would you feel if the we owned $300 Billion of Chinese debt? Would the desire to see that money again effect our foreign policy?

As an act of war, canceling our debt to China would be a natural response with little implication for downgrading our securities.

An extremely silly hypothesis.
