Key Points:

Historical Precedents: China inherited debt from predecessor governments, but its default challenges the sovereign debt norms.
Proposed Legislation: Senator J.D. Vance introduces a bill to compel China to honor its obligations to U.S. citizens.
International Implications: The selective default sets a dangerous precedent for global finance and U.S.-China relations.
