In light of recent threats to Taiwan... Sanctions won't work to deter an attack on taiwan; all that will ensure is high US interest rates and a poor economy. Plus, China is too integrated ecnomically in the world today to draw international condemnation from any other powers.

If the US decides to stop imports and not pay off the bonds to Chinese nationals it's probable that the Chinese economy would implode. They are now "integrated" into the world economy.
