Quite a few of the facts are wrong and quite a few of the conclusions:

- UK was not bombed to the stone age in any manner.

Here is a map illustrating 32,000 air raids the UK sustained during World War II.

...

China and its allies carry large amounts of debt which could take years or even decades to resolve.

That map proves very little. Yes, the UK sustained air raids, but not, its industrial production and infrastructure largely survived intact. This is what you should be looking at:

China's debt is no different from other countries. Japan is above 200% GPD for example, Italy, Spain, Greece, France... all have debt for decades.
