Strikes a chord

In regards to the issue of today’s ongoing process of globalization, we also see the influence of Roman Stoicism and its desire to bring law and order to the rest of the world. This is something which quickly strikes a chord with the approach we have seen from the USA in modern times, where it has sought to “free” certain countries in the Middle East from “dictatorships.”

What does "strikes a chord" in this case mean? Does it mean that "This is something which quickly causes people to remember the approach we have seen from the USA in modern times..."?

Thanks!
