Nah, it's oppressed people whose culture is being destroyed by neoliberalism while their oppressors make bank from recreating it for their own audience. It doesn't mean "non-Chinese student wearing a Chinese dress". That's a few extremists amplified by media & reactionaries.
Does this imply that most people would prefer to live in India over the US, or only that India is economically and socially more successful than the US?

The US and India are just at different points of their ideological lifecycle. Neoliberalism gained hegemony, and now it's collapsing. Like every other empire that came and went before it.

Ideological lifecycle? Maybe not the right term. Systemic lifecycle? All systems of power grow, plateau, and collapse. None are immune. The US, neoliberalism, just happens to be at that point.

No, it just means it isn't a cultural hegemony. Which means it's more adaptive and resilient.
