I think people worry that at some point the economic relationship could sour and cause us to become enemies. If that were to happen their military strength then could become an issue.

It would have to sour to the point that all that debt is completely devalued. You only need to look to the debt markets to see it has tremendous value. So China would lose a primary trade partner, all that debt asset and then try to float a twirpy fleet across 7000 miles of ocean to take on the USA.
Not bloody likely!
