Why object?

With China eager to lend, America enjoys lower interest rates. Since the Chinese government has decided its citizens should pay higher taxes to finance American borrowing and spending, why should Americans object?
The more difficult question is whether the Chinese are acting against their own self-interest by saving so much and investing in foreign assets. Perhaps they are worried about potential future crises and want a large reserve fund for such a contingency.
