They have a strange fascination with the US that is a combination of adoration, suspicion, and wonderment. Why is this? You can see it when the Chinese crowds cheer for the American athletes in the Olympics, or when top Chinese officials send their children to study in American universities like Harvard or Columbia. Deng Xiaoping had a niece who married a Chinese-American, and he was proud of the fact that she and her kids held US citizenship.
Why is that? |

Culture has nothing to do with the economy movie/recording sales, tv ratings/audiences, etc. People all over the world want to look like Americans. dress like them, talk like them, eat like them, dance like them, and so on and so forth. |

I would say more likely Caucasians (ie the west) than just americans. It is a white world and every one strives to live it and speak the white language....
