They work as "mood pieces" and world building exercises. There is also an element of compare and contrast: the stand-in for the head of the nominally most pacificistic of religions and the one guy who actually managed to bomb the continental US during WWII are both welcomed in this Jefferson place. (The latter would have probably worked better if, instead of Nobuo Fujita, HT had opted for a more prominent member of the CCP....)

So based on that, I really think HT will be circling back to this world in a longer form than "Typecasting" in the near future.
