Is he implying, with the sentence “[China] will “remain” a “second-rate society,”" that the object of comparion, the US, is a “first-rate society”?

Mr. Krober is entitled to his beliefs, but an objective journalist should exercise more thought with his or her vocabulary.

I’m slightly disappointed that CDT chose to add this one to the archive; it fails as a piece of objective journalism and falls instead under the too rampant US-clout-stroking category. I hadn’t realized this was what CDT was geared towards.
