Nike Ching

   The White House says Washington is being patient as it seeks a "new
   approach" toward relations with China at a time when the two countries
   remain in serious "strategic competition."'¯

   "What we've seen over the last few years is that China's growing more
   authoritarian at home and more assertive abroad, and Beijing is now
   challenging our security, prosperity and values in significant ways
   that require a new U.S. approach," White House spokesperson Jen
   Psaki'¯said'¯Monday during a news briefing.'¯

   Hours earlier, Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke by video to the World
   Economic Forum where he urged countries to cooperate on climate change
   and public health'¯--'¯and also'¯warned against conflict between
   Washington and Beijing without naming the United States. Xi said
   containing the coronavirus is the most pressing task for the
   international community.'¯'¯'¯
