Default Reagan's strategy?

Are the Chinese using Reagan's strategy against us?

Quote:
Changing relations with the United States due to the election of Ronald Reagan in 1981 and his immediate declaration that the Soviets were "An Evil Empire" started a western world policy of an enhanced and updated military build-up and threat to develop a Strategic Defense Initiative (also known as "Star Wars") the Soviets would never be able to compete with financially.
With the the amount of money China has and the US debt because of the Iraq war, could the Chinese put us in dire straits financially?
