Dear Sirs,
The Chinese, and others, don’t hold dollars – they hold Treasury Bills. These have a maturity date. Until that date they have no claim. They can sell them on the market at whatever they can get – they can buy all the wheat in Russia and the Russians will have a bunch of paper. The total portfolio of US debt is closely monitored and there is no window of vulnerability to either chance or purposeful mischief.
Regards,
Roy
