"It will viewed as a confiscation of money stolen from the American people."

Wow, I doubt the rest of the world would see it like that. Money is lent in good faith, and should that be broken with the poor Chinese, who is next?

"Reneging on debts owed to China won't be characterized as a default.

It will viewed as a confiscation of money stolen from the American people."


Yes, it would be considered a default and it would mean the immediate end of the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency. About the worst move the U.S. could make.
