"The United States wants to reignite the sense of national purpose by establishing China as an 'imaginary enemy'," Reuters quoted Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng as saying after the session on Monday morning.

Feng added the US had mobilised its society and government against China.

"As if once China's development is suppressed, US&nbsp;domestic and external problems will be resolved, and America will be great again, and America's hegemony can be continued", Feng said.

Sherman will meet State Councillor and Foreign minister Wang Yi later on Monday. Sherman is also slated to visit Japan, South Korea, and Mongolia as protocols between Beijing and Washington take a hit.

On Saturday, Wang warned that China would not accept the US taking a "superior" position in terms of its relationship with China. This came in a day after China revealed sanctions against US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross among others. 
 
According to Reuters, Sherman's expected position is that of cooperation and welcoming competition between the two countries, with the hope to establish a level playing field and "guardrails" to avoid conflicts in the future.

China accuses US of creating 'imaginary enemy' to divert from domestic issues

US President Barack Obama recieved a &#39;diplomatic snub&#39; as he touched down in Hangzhou city of China on Saturday.&nbsp; 
 
Red carpet was rolled out for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Brazil&#39;s newly elected President Michel Temer, among other heads of states, The Guardian reported today. However, the US President was denied a red carpet welcome.&nbsp;

Shortly after Obama disembarked from the plane on Saturday, a Chinese official shouted at a White House press official as the US official instructed foreign reporters on where to stand as they recorded Obama.&nbsp; 
 
&quot;This is our country. This is our airport,&quot; the official said in English, pointing and speaking angrily with the aide, footage shows.
