>>We own the world's reserve currency.

Yes. As I posted a few minutes ago, this is because we have the world's strongest, or at least biggest, economy.

>>That's part of our hegemony.

Hegemony, empire, it is the same thing.

>>However, China and Asia are not in any sense within "our" borders or subject to our rule.

They are within "our" borders to the extent that our military protects their free trade with us. Which it does.

They are within "our" rule to the extent that we trade with them on our terms. Which we do.
