No, this doesn't require "rock-solid logic". It only requires a sense of ethics that demands that other parties honor their commitments. What is "breathtaking" is the willingness of so many people to look the other way while someone is "drinking their milk shake".

World War III: U.S. vs. China?

<< The bottom line is the Chinese, who are the largest foreign holders of United States Treasury Bills, have been underwriting U.S. economic growth for decades.>>

They have been underwriting mainly their exports of Chinese-made products in the US. At the root, economic growth came from America's tech boom and other innovations. Superpowers don't go to war against one another. Little upside since neither will conquer the other, and huge downside. They wage war through proxies just like the Soviet and US did in the Cold War.

NO !

ETF Update: Time to Look at China

Forget it. Bring your dollars home, the China story is over. Inflation is coming back to America and those dollars the Chinese hold will be worth less and less. The only bull market now is gold.

Infrastructure investing is an indication of PAST wealth, not of future wealth. Infrastructure is a low return investment (if not negative return) and the miles and miles of cranes only mean the economy did well in recent years. It does not mean continued prosperity in coming years.
