Although in recent years Beijing has refrained from identifying Washington as an adversary or criticizing its " hegemonism " - - a pejorative Chinese code word for U.S. dominance - - many Chinese still view the United States as a major threat to their nation 's security and domestic stability . Wang 's death is now being exploited by the Communist government in Beijing , which has launched a propaganda offensive to deify the dead fighter pilot and harangue the United States , all under the rubric of battling " hegemonism " - - Beijing 's word to describe US power and influence in the Pacific .
