Funny stuff... If I borrow a million dollars from a bank and blow it on hookers and corn beef, who gets owned when it is not repaid? The bank can't collect what I have spent it on.
The debtor always rules the roost, the creditor is always under the impression that he can do something more to help the borrower to repay. Chasing good money after bad so to speak...
As for own-age, if the Chinese wish to invade and try to repo America, they will be throwing away even more money that won't be collected. It ain't going to happen.
Goldman Sachs should make the same commercial, and instead make the Chinese the butt of the joke... They were stupid enough to lend the money to crack whores claiming they were going to make millions in high producing swampland.
Yes, the Chinese own a bunch of promises to pay, but they are the owned.
