This may be a bit challenging -- especially I can appreciate how most Americans would fear a world where China is the world that "they" create. However, for a lot of people in the world, there is actually a gap of values where America is the "they" in this picture. I still remember the celebrations in Japan when Obama was elected as president (which I thought was being a bit optimistic, personally -- only so much a president can do, no matter how much they wish to do good (or not)). But the thing for me was, why are all the people in my office so invested in an election, half way around the world, where they have absolutely no say? Of course it is obvious. What the US does affects everybody and it doesn't always affect non-Americans in a good way. In some ways, I think it is good that Americans get some inkling that you don't really want a single country imposing their set of values on the rest of the world. Of course, I have no idea what the best alternative is, but I think it's food for thought.
