“Like they’re really gonna pay.”

No they won’t. So stop all trade with China and ban all travel from China.

China holds over $1 trillion in U.S. debt
Sock it to them. China also has a lot of holdings in America

Not pay? He he. All the Treasury bonds they have, just debit from that.

No need, my FRiend.

We will just deduct what they now owe us from our debt to china; AND, we can add a surcharge (no need to call it a tariff) to all goods that we buy from them.

Ideally, however, we will buy less and less from china.

It can be done. Chinese government-owned businesses have plenty of assets within our jurisdiction.

They either pay or all countries refuse to pay back loans.

China complies, or the world switches over to India, Malaysia, etc, for cheap goods.

Oh, and China must also immediately become a democracy, too

If they want food shipments they will pay.

Trump and Bolsonaro together control a lot of food production.

Realistically China cannot pay the debt it has accrued but could be kept in line using food as leverage. Trump is the king of leverage.
