Maybe in theory, but in reality, there is no way the people of the USA will let that happen. Mark my words- No Way.

Wang Chaocai, a Ministry of Finance researcher, was quoted as saying that "what else we can buy if not U.S. Treasuries? It's more risky to buy into equities." You can buy gold...

``Good news`` for the US.
China, the largest foreign holder of U.S. government debt, will keep buying U.S. Treasuries, the official People's Daily, the ruling Communist Party's mouthpiece reported on Tuesday, citing government researchers.
But don't fool yourself into believing them. Art of War my friends, Art of War.

Time to print ECB! Or let the big banks fail, which will be epic... since the banks are bigger than almost every country in the EU they are in.
Switzerland is the worst, with banks holding 594% of GDP in assets... good luck bailing them out...
UPDATE :
Well apparently it didn't take long for the US to respond to protect their friends in the EU...
U.S. to announce China trade enforcement action

But the funniest thing about all this is that China is in a big bubble too and their banks are in big trouble too!edit on 19-9-2011 by Vitchilo because: (no reason given)
Let them all eat Cake!
Funniest thing is that the world is heading towards a 1300's style dark age, a collapse of culture -- very opera bouffe.
Whodunit, is actually in the dictionary. It means "detective story." It isn't hard to figure out who the villains of this worldwide scandal are.
Our media people have become poster children for silly putty. Anything that the mainstream wants them to say they say. The mimic like Parrots. Look Karl Rove, the Obama's (Michelle Obama mimicking Marie Antoinette, but instead it is "Let them eat fries!"
Makes you wonder how these countries, Greece Portugal Spain can afford to even do their laundry! There is no production going on in Greece. Helga Zepp Larouche said Germany is bearing the burden of all Europe, because there are still some productive parts of Germany left. The Uncle Scrooge of the British empire hasn't nulified all of Europe yet. Maastricht Treaty: Led to the development of the currency the EURO.
Europe is going broke which means that the EURO is going to be useless. Cheer up Charlie brown that [the Euro is useless] is actually a good thing. extra DIV

Nah, that's in the movies bro. Fact is usually stranger than fiction. Think about it, They start a war with them in the name of human rights and they get completely out from under China's thumb. And as a bonus, The swindlers get control of the vast Chinese markets and economy. They will be able to influence their hand picked puppet chinese government to also relax all of the regulations China has set up for foreign investors, not to mention trade. I am telling you man, a conflict with Red China is coming because there can only be one big dog on the street. Just wait, when it does happen you're gonna think to yourself "wow, that SheopleNation dude from ATS was right!". ~SheopleNation

Because the US (at least Democrats, not Republicans) doesn't want as many jobs outsourced and it is causing global disruptions.

Right, but the Chinese know this and that's why the 'capital account' is also closed. Foreigners can't directly buy Yuan. Otherwise it would be a great investment--- Chinese government bonds yielding ~5% in a near guaranteed-to-rise currency? Every fund on the planet would invest if they could (which would also result in the Yuan shooting upwards if were free-floating).
It is why there is a massive property bubble in part too, Chinese disaspora are sending money home to relatives to buy Chinese properties. Of course foreigners can't easily do this (Chinese economy is designed to make Chinese rich, not foreigners. US economy is designed to make rich people rich, not Americans).

So do i understand this correctly, China is witholding trade to prove a point to Europe so America is witholding trade to prove a point to China? I find it difficult to see a positive outcome from punking out your bookie...

I am sure one country (like USA) will end up turning round at some point and wipe all debts off.
Then other countries will follow suit.
Other countries will just get fed up with it, but what can they do.
If one country has the balls to write off debt then no one can do anything about it.
