Recently, the United States Dept of Defense released it Quadrennial Defense Review Report (pdf).
The report singles out India, Russia and China as "major and emerging powers" in Asia. However China is singled out on page 29 has the "greatest potential to compete militarily with the United States and field disruptive military technologies that could over time offset traditional US military advantage abset US counter strategies.
I don't see this sentence as unreasonable. The DoD is making any assessment of powers in the region and China is one of the biggest and less understood by the US government.
But China doesn't seem to really like the words used in the report.
See the Feb 3rd, QDR Pentagon Briefing in video or plain audio.
