Video games have been around for over 40 years (3D shooters for nearly 30) and enjoyed by people all around the globe. And yet, to my knowledge there hasn't been one single game of any notariety made where the US is the bad guys and you shoot at Americans. That is telling...
There's Spec Ops: The Line. You start the game with your standard ooh rah marine shit and shooting arabs, and then after a bit you start shooting other yankees. The game is a trip for sure.

Seriously? What about Bioshock 3? Don't you literally fight an animatronic George Washington?
What about Last Of Us? Or Half Life 2? Or... fuck, half of your Counterstrike rounds involve playing as a literal terrorist shooting at American / UK / French special forces.
Command & Conquer and Red Alert let you play as literal Communists. Red Faction, too.
There are tons of games where you're an insurgent fighting against a corrupt American government. And tons of games where you're "Both Sides"-ing a conflict between geopolitical powers.

I'd love a WW2 sim (preferably flight but FPS will do) that actually involves the Chinese Theatre.
