US President: We intend to get along very well with China, but it is a rival

The Washington administration intends to get along with China, but considers the country a rival to the United States. This position was outlined by US President Donald Trump at the first meeting of his cabinet.

"We intend to get along very well with China, but it is a rival," he said.

Trump added in this regard that China has very good results in school education, according to published rankings. "They are usually at the top of the list. They are in the top ten," the American leader emphasized. He did not specify which ranking he was referring to. Trump added that the United States "spends more than any other country in the world per person" in school education, but shows weak results.
