China can’t just immediately call in the full payment on a 30 year treasury bond. We pay it over the life of the bond in accordance with the repayment agreement made at time of sale. Doesn’t matter if they want the money now; that’s not an option.
It's my money and I want it now!!!

Not sure which is worse, you posting this made up nonsense twice or the 4 tRumpkins that upvoted your statement.

What do you think happens to debt instruments when someone sells them?
Someone else buys them.
And if the demand isn't there and no one wants to buy them, they have to keep reducing the price (and take a loss) until someone will...
Bonds operate under the law of supply and demand just like anything else on the open market. If China wanted to sell all $1.1T dollars of debt they own, it would create a short term negative ripple for the US, but it would by no means "collapse" our economy or currency like a lot of people seem to believe.

A buddy of mine who did some contract work for both the Trump and Clinton campaigns would dispute you on that.
He invoiced the Trump campaign on a Thursday, had his check on Tuesday.
Last I heard, he was still waiting on that check from Hillary.

If China did ,what would they do with the money? Would they buy stuff (like pork) they needed from us? !
