Draw an analogy between John Corigliano's Piano Concerto and Wenhui Xie's Piano Concerto.

Wenhui Xie is one of the emerging young composers and pianist from Beijing, China. Her music contains clear ethnic characteristics as a result of her cultural background and philosophy of life. Wenhuis works cover many genres, including instrumental solos, art songs, choral, chamber, orchestral works, music for dance and film.

Her orchestral work To Call Forth has been chosen from among the works read by CCM Philharmonia Orchestra and to be performed in 2010. The LSU Percussion Ensemble and the SHSU Percussion Ensemble have selected and performed her work A.I.R- for percussion ensemble of 6 players as the first place winner in both of the Composition Competitions. In addition, Wenhuis work The Reverie of Baoyu for ballet was premiered by the Dance China, NYC in 2006, and performed in Cincinnati in 2007.

Wow, that's in the same league as Jose Alberto Kaplan's Shostakovich-plagiarising Piano Concerto!

[MuseDuCafe]

You know what plagarism is: it does not include even the wholesale lifting of a configuration and rhythm and doing something else with it, tacky and unimaginative as that is. So, if you are concerned with actual plagarism, cite actual cases of it.
