Americans could soon be working for China

America is so good-hearted. We are building up the economies of foreign countries by purchasing the goods they manufacture while millions of U.S. citizens walk the streets looking for jobs.
Chinese dictators could demand payment on our debt of a trillion dollars in U.S. bonds they hold and they will not accept our paper money. They will want American physical assets, i.e., send their business executives to govern certain large U.S. corporations. Or take ownership of some of our natural resources properties.
Soon we could be working for them and that will reduce our spending and our standard of living drastically.
