I'm not sure where you got your numbers for China's debt from. The IMF says that china's debt has decreased (from 26% to 19%), while the US's has stayed the same (~100%):

  General government gross debt [Percent of GDP]
  Country        Year  2012 2013 2014 2015
  China                  26   23   20   19
  United States         102  104  106  107
