The Proceedings article is a pretty good summary. Before I retired I had a subscription to the magazine. There were many thoughtful articles and an editorial policy tacitly encouraged from senior USN leadership, to question orthodoxy, criticize policy, and advocate out of the box ideas.
I am absolutely certain that the Chinese Navy has no equivalent publication, and never will. This speaks to the profound cultural imperatives of the Chinese Military which will always prioritize fealty to the party over military competence and will never allow criticism of senior Naval Leadership or any significant Naval policy
That being said the Chinese Navy definitely has capabilities that did not exist 10 years ago or even 3 years ago. The challenge is to dispassionately recognize the strengths and and the limitations of their Navy, and more importantly think about what are the realistic scenarios for Naval Force Projection as part of the larger Chinese foreign policy construct
