U.S. President-elect Donald Trump appeared on the conservative radio Hugh Hewitt show, which aired on the 6th local time, and said, "I'm talking to Chinese President Xi Jinping through an agent, and I expect us to get along very well."

At the same time, Trump criticized China for using the U.S. economically and stressed that "the relationship should be two-way."

In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jacun said, "China values Trump's position," adding, "China and the United States maintain communication in various ways, and China is willing to drive stable and sustainable development of Sino-U.S. relations with the United States."

However, in response to Trump's remarks that China is using the U.S. economically, he countered, "China has consistently thought that the essence of economic and trade cooperation between China and the U.S. is reciprocity, and that each success of China and the U.S. is each other's opportunity and that each development helps each other."

Earlier, the Washington Post said that the world Trump will face after taking office will be much more threatening than when he completed his first term four years ago, pointing to the strengthening of the so-called "axis of resistance" in Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.

In particular, China, which has serious economic problems but has military ambitions, could be a big challenge for Trump, the Washington Post noted.

At the same time, he predicted that Trump's diplomacy, which calls itself a fixer, will be limited in his second term.

The Washington Post noted that Trump has taken steps to lean on individual skills rather than strategy, preferring deals with dictators to cooperation with allies, but in a second term it will be difficult to cooperate with leaders such as Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
