2 edits | caffeinator  , the only thing that's protecting us from China performing a "credit call" on the United States is the fact that they would get nothing in return, it would instantly crash our economy, and their (China's) economy would be royally screwed in the process as well.
In other words, we would both be screwed in the end and China's leaders know that. They'd be stupid if they did that.
