Sounds like it is taken straight out of a Clancy novel. But some things you got right I think. Their economic ambition is sky high. And the buying of us debt will come back and bite the US in the butt. Hard.

Also try to imagine yourself sitting in the chinese government and watching USA fool around in Afghanistan and Iraq. Why they ask themselves as they are amused by the prospect of accumulating even more US debt. But why Iraq? It didn't make sense then and it makes especially no sense today. The US will wound itself on that affair, and China can later move in and buy the oil from the now really estranged Iraqi people. "Help" them rebuild their lands once the dust has settled.
