Based off the three authors all having long-term ties to China, the tone of the article, it parroting known propaganda, and the comments under it all scrutinizing it, I feel this is very obviously propaganda. That being said if we were to assess this seriously, the premise itself makes no sense. No country needs to stop China's rise as their economy is already stalling and showing signs of decline. A better article here would actually assess U.S. foreign policy and whether it had any impact on China's economy stalling (or if that is truly just a byproduct of other factors).
