Today I read that Italy has signed  China's Belt and road initiative, that will allow them to borrow money from the Chinese investment bank. This set me thinking, if they default does that mean China can foreclose? Imagine if they dragged Michelangelo's Dave back to Beijing or what if they annexed the Colosseum?

Now the reason for this line of musing is America owes China a lot of money, what would happen if they defaulted? Would it result in China taking posession of Trump's hair? I hate to see an innocent creature parted from it's owner, but it would be nice to see it live out the rest of it's days enjoying it's retirement and frolicking with Pandas in a sanctuary somewhere.

See aren't you glad I'm back?
