Discussions underway to resolve certain trade issues: Commerce Ministry on if India, US have commenced trade deal talks

China on Tuesday decried US President Donald Trump&#39;s first National Security Strategy, which described Beijing as a challenge to American power, as a &quot;Cold War mentality&quot; that will only harm Washington.

&quot;Any country, or any report, which distorts the facts, or maliciously slanders will only do so in vain,&quot; foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a regular news briefing.

The two countries have been locked in an increasingly acrimonious battle over trade issues, with Washington taking unprecedented steps to investigate and add tariffs to Chinese-made goods.

Trump&#39;s security strategy -- 11 months in the making -- takes a step further, pillorying China as a &quot;revisionist power&quot; seeking to displace the United States in Asia.

&quot;We urge the United States to stop intentionally distorting China&#39;s strategic intentions and to abandon outdated notions such as the Cold War mentality and zero-sum game, otherwise it will only harm itself or others,&quot; Hua said.

Hua launched a vigorous defence of Beijing&#39;s foreign policy.&nbsp;

&quot;China will never pursue its own development at the expense of other countries&#39; interests.&quot;&nbsp;

Hua added: &quot;At the same time we will never give up our legitimate rights and interests.&quot;

The security strategy contrasts with the friendly nature of Trump&#39;s first state visit to Beijing in November, when he received a lavish welcome and repeatedly praised President Xi Jinping.
