My comment:
(a) Orbis (foreign policy)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbis_(foreign_policy)
("Orbis is a quarterly American journal on international relations and U.S.
foreign policy. It is the flagship publication of the Philadelphia-based
Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI), an international affairs think
tank established in 1955.")

(b) Contrast the above with

Minxin Pei, China's Not a Superpower. The Diplomat, Dec. 29, 2009.
http://www.carnegieendowment.org/publications/index.cfm?fa=view&id=24404

Because the first two-thirds are ordinary, I suggest one starts from the last third of the article: the paragraph that begins with "Geopolitically, the limits on Chinese power will be equally severe. While the United States is blessed by weak neighbours, China has to contend with strong regional rivals."
