what does 'play into' mean?
"Time Warner's closure of the 26-year-old publication plays into Asian fears of a U.S.-centric world media.''
In my understanding, it indicates that this action taken by the company falls into the public expectation to its own disadvantage.

Thank you so much!

Answer

Yea, I believe what you said is correct. 'Playing into fears' is basically saying 'feeding fears' or like you said, it was something they were afraid would happen, and then it did. Hope that helps!(:
