US military back with Nato will destory China's military in a heart beat.

Second, their economy isn't all that great when they depend on US. 

Lastly China can't call in their debt instantly. China depends on America a lot more than vise versa. We can take our outsourcing somewhere else and let China go down. Also, China won't be as huge in the future since everything is becoming more and more digital with little need for hardware. China's time is running out.

China owns $1.2 trillion in US debt (only Japan I think has a little more), they have a ton of leverage to hurt the US. 

US can't even defeat a bunch of cave dwellers like the Taliban (still running around last I checked). I'm not so sure any type of military conflict against China would go so smoothly for them. 

No Taliban is in Shambles and ISIS is pretty much screwed at this point. We could exterminate them completley pretty much, but would cause a lot of innoncent people to die instead of just a few. If united states really wanted to we can just bomb countries off the face of the earth. Also, 1.2 trillion dollars isn't a lot because we only need to pay interest on it. It's like saying you're in debt/bankrupt when you have a mortgage for a house. As long as you pay your mortgage, you're fine. If we pull out of China they will eventually go bankrupt because their jobs and GDP is way too depended on USA. That and we could just impose sanctions on them.
