China's contribution to United Nations rhetoric," a community of shared destiny" (人类命运共同体) is Xi Jinping's response to Trump super-nationalism. A significant portion of U.S. citizens are afraid of what they conceive of as: "world government". I suspect that their paranoia is a remnant of U.S. anti-communist rhetoric of the 1940s-60s, where Russia was painted to be seeking 'world domination'.

Both the U.S. and China are only truly interested in their own scramble for power, but China's PR is now more potent and more palatable to the 3rd world than Trump's 'America First' and border walls.
