What will happen when China calls on US debt?

China holds almost a quarter of the United States foreign-owned debt (more than $1 Trillion USD). My broad understanding is if China called on the debt, it will drive up the value of the Yuan and deteriorate the value of the greenback (provided the United States are even able to pay it). What economic and political issues could arise from this?
