Great changes have taken place in China's national strength over the past 40 years, as well as how the world sees China. These changes will bring new challenges to the China-US relationship, according to Study Times, the newspaper administered by the Party School of the Central Committee of CPC.

During the period of the Obama administration, China had broader cooperation with the US — not just in traditional security issues like North Korea's and Iran's nuclear issues, but some unconventional security fields like climate change, it said.

Today, however, consensus fails to be established in the unconventional security cooperation, and even traditional trade has become a focus of conflict, it added.

Moreover, the Trump administration has a wrong concept about China, seeing China as a rival and challenger that seeks to replace it in the Indo-Pacific region, and even a major threat to its nuclear security, the article said.
