The exceptionalist neocon 'news' outlet that's filled with those who pushed the Iraq War hardest is accusing other countries of being exceptionalist. It also calls other publications 'mouthpieces', stans for privatization etc. There are ghouls in the US who are remnants from an era that was more than 50 years ago in the past. Those people are still alive and their yes men are still pushing their 50 years old world view. Foreign Policy is one of those yes men.

¿Por qué no los dos? Speaking as an American who once went and resided in Hong Kong for a while--and under no definition a neocon--I have no problem believing China's political zeitgeist contains a very large helping of exceptionalism.

  Exceptionalism is made difficult by the dominating left wing ideology. As it is scientific socialism, it favors a practical worldview that is geared towards the physical betterment of life standards of the Chinese society at every level. This worldview is the state perspective and it is indoctrinated into the youth during education as well. The result is steady and incremental betterment of life standards everywhere. There isnt time to be 'the exception' or think that you are exception to something - the worldview that you have been given is to improve everything incrementally. And not surprisingly, since this is a world view, it also reflect on China's dealings with the rest of the world. Everything they do is for incremental improvement of the society, which is also projected to the world. Their joint projects with African countries seek incremental improvement in a specific field of life, from infra to telecommunication. The partner country improves, the Chinese society improves. Its the application of domestic process to abroad. As a result, it wouldnt matter if anyone felt 'exceptional' during that process. The process is one of scientific, tangible, physical improvement. Its measurable, its observable. As long as the improvement happens, the rest is scarely relevant.

Yeah I stopped reading pretty quickly and started gawking at how propaganda this site is… and I am not a big CCP fan by any means.

  Wow. If this one disgusted you, you couldnt stomach what they wrote before the Iraq war. Or, any other war...
