I think it'd take a lot more than a trillion bucks to make China and the US get into any kind of bullets and bombs dispute. A war with China would cost a LOT more than a trillion bucks.
If China underbids us and we're unable to leverage state power or anything of that nature, I'm sure we'll just lick our wounds and give up. Anything else would be really, really stupid.

Nations, like people, make stupid mistakes sometimes. Look at the defining wars of the previous century.
