There is no risk of China stopping the purchases of treasuries for the time being, but their purchases will be far far less than we need to fund the deficit, especially since the trade surplus is falling sharply. Also it's unclear which treasuries they are talking about...the last few months China has bought massive amounts of short term debt but shed long term debt, so... Well yeah, they have no choice.
