You really think the Chinese are now just going to go "oh OK Mr. American Joe, now we build nukes no more!", I would say such a climate encourages more militarization of other countries not less. 

Why would other countries engage in an arms race they can't win?

If I'm China, I'm investing more into my military, not less. If the US chooses to have a more antagonistic posture, it will be replied to in kind. 

You think the people around the world just cower at the US, but lets also look at some reality here ... the US has not won a war clean and full out since arguably Japan in the 1940s and that required two nuclear bombs to be dropped. In Vietnam, the US dropped 260 million cluster bombs, sprayed Agent Orange indscriminantly cause horrific birth defects, burned villages with women and children alive ... and those people still fought the US tooth and nail for every inch and refused to submit. 

US huffing and puffing does not deter other countries, pride in one's country is not some sole domain of the United States. This is a cartoony world view.
