The Basics:
Most US debt is not payable to “China,” but rather to the “holder.” If the US were to attempt your moronic proposal, it would have ZERO effect.

If “China” held a $100 debt instrument, they would simply sell it to “Czechia” for $99.95, and Czechia would get paid by the US ... with a small profit.



First of all,

This is a terrible way to address China. Far too much self inflicted harm. There are many better options.

However, if you just void the specific issuances China has title to, nobody buys, China remains the holder, China loses.

And there would be no way for America to refuse to pay and debt China tries to sell off?

This isn't happening. Y'all are just wasting time discussing it.

And the house of cards that is the USA grinds to a halt, no one else will touch our debt again and the dollar will lose its status as the worlds reserve currency which means we can no longer export our inflation to third world countries.

The results at home would be a massive shortfall in cash for FedGov requiring huge cutbacks in SS, medicare, and DOD along with giant tax inceases.

It would be the mother of all pyrrhic victories.

Any attempt by the US to default on its bond debt would cause ripple effects you can not even begin to imagine.

Lots of bad things and some that are good IMHO would happen but the world economy as we know it would change that very instant.


Can you elaborate?

I swear that the average level of understanding on this forum of financial and economic issues does not extend very far beyond the price of a gallon of milk at the local 7-11.

It's noted above that the bond debt to the Chinese is only 1 trillion. Why would a court ordered offset of a legitimate (and relatively small) debt be so earth ending?

Has a world court ever ordered an offset of debt between countries before? I know we froze Iranian assets until BHO loaded a plane with cash at midnight? Any more comparable cases out there?

If I knew the answer for certian I would be sitting on my island surrounded by bathing beauties sipping umbrella drinks.

My guess is Renminbi or back to Gold were the greenback to go out of demand.
