When you owe a million dollars to someone, you have a problem.

When you owe a trillion dollars to someone, they have a problem.

Only if money is their primary concern.

The US went to war with Iraq and it cost trillions. If China wanted to undermine the US economy and it only costs a few trillion in bad debt it's a bargain if it achieves that goal.

But they don't have a few trillion of our debt. They have about a trillion and that isn't even 7% of the total debt. US citizens and institutions own most of the US debt.
