It wouldn't surprise me if U.S. decide to hand over technologies to reduce its debt, after all after WW2, the british had to give U.S. everything because they were broke(i.e. jet propulsion, steam catapult etc.)

What surprise me is China allow U.S. to use one of its cities as a stopping point for Operations in Afghanistan.

Maybe it carries equipments, preparing for Joe Biden's upcoming visit to Sichuan, if my memory serves me right.
