India has proven 200KT bombs in its arsenal so China is not 100 times superior to us in nuclear weapons.
PRC had $1254.8 billion in October, 2015.They have almost off loaded everything not much of a ripple? They have acted on their threat now we have to wait for USA to get even (and they will)

yes...................................Currently GM's biggest market is China than US.
Do u suggest to make in India for export to china?
The U.S. lodged the case on Thursday, charging that Beijing's administration of its tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) for rice, wheat, and corn "breaches China's WTO commitments and undermines American farm exports," the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) said in a statement.
TRQs allow a certain volume of grains to be imported at lower-duty rates every year, and the USTR complained that traders were not given full access to the quotas, despite Chinese domestic prices being higher than global prices, due to Beijing's "opaque and unpredictable" management.
China Files WTO Complaint Against EU, USChina was the second-biggest importer of U.S. agricultural products in 2015 after Canada, with imports totaling $20.2 billion, down 16.5% from 2014, USDA data showed.
China has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO) that accuses the United States and the European Union of failing to comply with the international trade body's rules to stop using "surrogate pricing" to calculate anti-dumping tariffs on Chinese imports.
Beijing has complained the approach has led to unfairly high anti-dumping duties on Chinese products and has insisted the practice end by Dec. 11 — the 15th anniversary of the country's accession to the WTO. But some major trading partners, including the U.S., the EU and Japan, have refused to do so.
China has a large army because it needs it. It has that many potential adversaries. Not to mention, it has to hold down Xinjiang and Tibet. Both of which are huge in area. India has two, so most of our forces will be engaged only against China and Pakistan. We have more than enough for the two.Same applies to India also. China cannot dare to mess with Indians by thinking they have world's biggest army. Indian army is one of the bravest and professional army and a lot more experienced in fighting with army highly advanced and numerical superiority.
Try messing with India and let time decide who gets their ass kicked.
Nothing like a trade war . US India are also involved in WTO despute despite all the strategic partnerships of the century drama.Trade wars in the offing -

Even if it offloads all of it there won't be any impact. One big question who will buy it?? US
government may not(trump a china hater)??
1. If they were to sell all their bonds, where would they park the money? They buy the bonds partly for safety.If PRC offloads its Treasury Bonds, it will have a ripple effect. Other countries will follow suit.
In such a case, it will be difficult to find people who are willing to buy it. Those that end up buying it, will do so for a value much less than the face value of the US Treasury Bond.
The end result will be, the value of the US Treasury Bond will crash.
Once that happens, the US Treasury will have difficulty to get the Federal Reserve to print US Dollars. Remember, the Federal Reserve is a private bank, and the Federal Reserve prints the US Dollars. The US Treasury gives US Treasury Bonds to the Federal Reserve and in return the Federal Reserve gives US Dollars to the US Treasury. Now, the Treasury uses these Dollars to pay the bills for the US government.
The US Treasury will not have Dollars to spend if it does not get those Dollars from the Federal Reserve, and the US Treasury will get no Dollars from the Federal Reserve if it cannot sell its Treasury Bonds, which have lost value.
Doubtful, other countries will jump at buying US Bonds to keep their currency exchange rates competitive.If PRC offloads its Treasury Bonds, it will have a ripple effect. Other countries will follow suit.
1. If they were to sell all their bonds, where would they park the money? They buy the bonds partly for safety.
2. If they were to sell everything, it would sell below face value in the market. Would they be willing to take the loss?
3. Upon selling everything, as a result of the trade surplus, value of their currency will increase and make their goods uncompetitive.
4. China holds only about 7% of the US debt. The majority of the debt is held by Americans.
5. US Treasury Bonds are the last safe haven left and are in high demand. Even if the Chinese sold them, there are a lot of other takers.
Actually, PRC has a lot of leverage.TLDR: China doesn't really have any leverage over the US by virtue of buying US bonds.
Other countries most likely will not jump to buy the Bonds, if PRC decides to dump all of them in the market, all other variables (price per bond) being constant. Excessive supply of anything tends to drive the costs down.Doubtful, other countries will jump at buying US Bonds to keep their currency exchange rates competitive.
I'll reply to the rest of the post later but that figure is for foreign bond holders which make up about 32.5% of the total US debt
- PRC holds 1131.9/6038.9=19% of all US Treasury Bonds as of October 2016 (link).
US debt is not limited to Treasury Bonds. If you include all instruments, then PRC's share will probably go down.I'll reply to the rest of the post later but that figure is for foreign bond holders which make up about 32.5% of the total US debt
There's been a lot of attention in recent years over China rising to become one of the largest holders of U.S. debt. China's share of the debt is sizable -- about 7% -- but it's hardly the largest holder of U.S. government bonds.
The top holder by far is U.S. citizens and American entities, such as state and local governments, pension funds, mutual funds, and the Federal Reserve. Together they own the vast majority -- 67.5% -- of the debt.
Foreign nations only hold 32.5% of the total.

It is unclear to me whether the statistic is limited to foreign holders.Estimated foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury marketable and non-marketable bills, bonds, and notes reported under the Treasury International Capital (TIC) reporting system are based on monthly data on holdings of Treasury bonds and notes as reported on TIC Form SLT, Aggregate Holdings of Long-Term Securities by U.S. and Foreign Residents and on TIC Form BL2, Report of Customers' U.S. Dollar Liabilities to Foreign Residents.
It is, read the tile of the chart "MAJOR FOREIGN HOLDERS OF TREASURY SECURITIES"It is unclear to me whether the statistic is limited to foreign holders.
They use sources that have both US resident and foreign holdings to estimate just the foreign component. Sorry for nitpicking, 32% vs ~7% is a huge difference.Estimated foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury marketable and non-marketable bills, bonds, and notes reported under the Treasury
