Perhaps the American President will by and by discover this is a case of 'in every man there is a bad idea waiting expectantly to be born'. For starters some agreemnt as to the form of government is needed, unless the Vampire Corps of Observers simply starts massacring non-American politicians in job lots.
Consider such simple questions as "What vote of confidence is needed for an American President to be removed from office and new elections to be called?" or "What do you mean, as party leader if I determine that one of my legilators is going to vote the wrong way, I am not allowed to replace him as a Member of Parliament?" (for no points, name the western European Country with this interpretation of an independent parliament) or "What do you mean, students at university are not allowed to stage a nonviolent riot and hold professors hostage until everyone passes the course?)
Then: What are the national languages? Answer: Mandarin and Hindi.
What is the legal political party? Communist, under the Command of Great Leader (insert Chinese name).
What is the role of Americans? Cannon fodder.
Unfortunately for this version of the future, you might want to go back and look in OotD for what happened when the Chinese Communist Party called for a mass uprising against the invaders in all of China's major cities.
And when ITL comes along, you'll get to see what happened to the Party after that minor fiasco.
