Reuters: Trump to say in security speech that China is competitor: officials
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump will lay out a new U.S. national security strategy on Monday based on his “America First” policy and will, among other items, make clear that China is a competitor, two senior U.S. officials said on Saturday.
Trump has praised Chinese President Xi Jinping while also demanding that Beijing increase pressure on North Korea over its nuclear program and to change trade practices to make them more favorable to the United States.
The national security strategy, to be rolled out in a speech by Trump, should not be seen as an attempt to contain China but rather to offer a clear-eyed look at the challenges China poses, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The strategy, which was still being drafted, may also reverse Democratic President Barack Obama’s declaration in September 2016 that climate change is a threat to security, one official said.

Of course china is a competitor. .gosh...they have one goal: to overtake you and leave you far behind and then ring in the Chinese millennium. And you now declare them as competitor. At that speed it'll take them decades to figure out that China weaponizes north Korea
Grab some popcorn, sit back and watch the shenanigans.
