You're more or less restating my point. Beyond that, I'd be
interested to hear some realistic thoughts on how it might play

Here's one scenario.

Interesting article. Thank-you. I'm not entirely sure how realistic or
probable it is, but it's certainly a point to consider.

I'm not sure it's realistic, either. However, at least some of the
money China has loaned to the US government was once in the pockets of
American consumers.
