It's a mutually dependent arrangement. Neither side has anything to gain from walking away from it.

China will keep lending no question about it. The only issue is to kickstart growth again.
Obviously its not going to be to zero. But, there will come a point that China can only "lend so much" which will be the issue. While China will always lend to the US, I don't think its a good idea to depend on them so heavily and forever*.

* = although I realize the USA will probably depend on China to lend them lunch money for the next century
