China and Russia have criticized the United States for its new national security strategy that labels both countries as "competitors" challenging American interests, Al Jazeera reports.
"We urge the US side to stop deliberately distorting China's strategic intentions and abandon such outdated concepts as the Cold War mentality and the zero-sum game - otherwise it will only end up harming itself as well as others," said Hua Chunying, spokeswoman for China's foreign ministry.
Russia also was critical of Trump's new strategy.
"A quick read of the parts of the strategy that mention our country ... [shows] an imperialist character," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
