The American revolution would be like some Chinese colonists refusing to pay back infra debt in Africa. And the US would have to have the guts to send some Rochambeaus and Lafayettes to the Chinese colonies.

Kinda a stretch comparison. But I would like it in doing so the US got mad broke and then we had a real revolution.
