If their economy hits a hard crash, what’s to keep them from collecting their U.S. loans? They’re the largest holder of our deficit, which was good for them to finance as we bought their products and kept their people working.

You're pretty darned smart. Watch for China to become much more bellicose in the very near future. The ChiComs promised their people prosperity in return for chains.
The prosperity they've had is about to come to a screeching halt. They'll need an enemy to blame it on. Couple that with the fact that there are something like 100 million unmarried 20 something males in China and you've got the makings of a nice little war; most likely with India.
Maybe Taiwan, but most likely India.
