Handing the U.S. the bill would mean that the U.S. simply doesn't pay and says, come get it. They are happily using it against us to make sure that we don't interfere in their nefarious chinaman ways. I doubt they want more land mass, they sure as hell don't want more people, they only want Taiwan for revenge on Chiang Kai-shek. So really I can't think of one reason China would want to be involved in a large scale conflict.
