Bonds have fixed maturities. Choice isn't an option.

What if China or Japan get a little spooked and decide NOT to roll over some of their short or long term paper?

Rolling over bonds doesn't mean selling new bonds to the exact same owners of the matured bonds.

If all Chinese and Japanese investors decided not to invest any more in US bonds, interest rates would very likely have to rise until the bonds being issued attracted other buyers.
