80% of China's National Debt is denominated in USD. This means that the CCP wants the USD to hyperinflate, as the $1.7 trillion debt they owe would be much easier to pay

tl;dr: China's debt is in USD. They have a huge incentive to hyperinflate the USD if they can do it, given they are starting to suffer some financial difficulties. And given they are the US's largest debt holder as well as largest trade partner, this seems like a possible scenario that should be paid attention to.
