I mean, I largely agree with the facts of the article, but I don’t see what part is a “mistake.” If you’ve decided to play the superpower game, drawing countries into your orbit seems like the correct strategy, as does prioritizing ones that have ties to other powerful countries that you would like to undercut.
If they think that “attempting to remain a superpower” is a mistake in and of itself, then it’s not a repeat, it’s just one continuous mistake that started last century.
