Invest it in American businesses just like the Saudis have, or do somthing as outrageous as imroving the quality of life for the Chinese population!.

Hell all of Chinas' investments are in America. If they called the tab we'd all be eating rice.

China tried to buy a Unocal gas company, overwhelmingly struct down by US congress. I remember they offered $50 billion to unocal. These guys are desperate

Best bet for world peace in MY opinion is to have as many cross-border investments going on around the world as possible.. Nobody wants to start something serious if they know their huge foreign investments will be lost if they dont behave. I bet even the Chinese leaders have to listen to big business lobyists in their own country.

i like rice, but to the point, if china "called the tab" (whatever that means) they would lose their investment.

it is said if you owe the bank $100,000, they own you, but if you owe the bank $100 million, you own the bank.
