There's no guarantee that the chinese government would respect US copyright and patent law in a split up. It's just as likely the payments to US firms would end, and manufacture would continue.
- Canada 7y agoIf China takes that action the US can cancel China's bonds. I don't think either side wants to take such drastic action though.
- sgift 7y agoIf the US cancels Chinas bonds the US looses any trust, i.e. everyone has to assume that their bonds are worthless. No sane person/company would lend the US money in that scenario.
