China would be willing to pay some amounts for peace if necessary.
In the realistic world, international law isn't ironclad. And when you're talking about negotiating with someone that has nukes, even if they're your inferior in hard power, the truth is that China still needs to give them some leeway.
Power doesn't come from liquid reserves but from societal development. Those who own market share and factories are much better off development wise than those who only have money. Money is only worth anything if it can be put into circulation to improve the local economy. If a cash infusion just ends up being used to pay for foreign goods, the end benefactor will be the foreigners and the local oligarchs, not the 99.9% of locals. Basically, just look at all the "aid" to Africa and how much those sums actually ended up improving said countries.
If paying off to America with investments is what's needed to keep the peace and scale back American aggression, that's just 1 more tool available to China. There's no way US can catch up or surpass China by using China's own directed investments.
Let America have cash, as long as they can trade reasonable security guarantees for it. I don't believe for a second American workers, American innovators, can use that cash even remotely as effectively as their Chinese counterparts anyways.
