The UK is monetarily and militarily a subservient tribute state to the USA. So are Japan, S.Korea, the EU and Australasia. However with the exception of the UK, China is now more important as a trading partner to all of these traditional US allies. The UK handed over its empire to the US in a fairly agreeable gentlemanly manner. The same is unlikely to be the character of Chinas rise. Chinas banks are not the Jewish owned ones that have financed the dominant empires of the last 5 centuries.
