Most likely as a patriotic American, me and my little band of guerillas would be out there doing our best to disrupt the Chinese forces. To make the scenario even more realistic, lets say that a group of Western terrorists for some reason of their own had set off bombs in a major Chinese city, killing thousands of Chinese just weeks or months before the Chinese decided to come to our aid out of the pure goodness of their hearts. Let's say further that prior to this Chinese intervention the Chinese leadership had made a number of statements which seemed to imply that the US was giving sanctuary to the terrorists. When the Chinese army sets foot on US soil to "free" me, my every hair is standing on end and I feel that my country is going from the frying pan to the fire.

Oh yeah, and don't forget the Chinese have banned any American who worked under the former Bush dictatorship from having anything to do with repairing the power supplies. This, in effect, gets rid of all our skilled people because they had no choice but to work under the Bush dictatorship, like it or not.
