The "America first" pledge made by Donald Trump in his inaugural address on Friday has created uncertainty in many countries over what that will actually mean in terms of US policies.
Although Trump did not directly challenge China in the speech－as he had done in the past month－Beijing should still prepare for possible trade frictions with Washington, experts said.
"For many decades, we've enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry; subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing the very sad depletion of our military. We've defended other nations' borders while refusing to defend our own, and spent trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay," he said.
Trump's speech, featuring what many analysts called his usual protectionist rhetoric, is considered among the factors leading to worries and protests in many countries.
According to a BBC report, millions in the US and around the world protested against Trump's new administration on Saturday. The largest US rally was in Washington, where city officials estimated that crowd to number more than 500,000, the report said.
China's Foreign Ministry had not responded to Trump's speech as of press time Sunday.
"Since the establishment of Sino-US ties, there have been ups and downs in the bilateral relationship, but it kept moving forward," she said.
"Trump could change the image of the United States, and we may see an America that will say 'no' more frequently," he said.
"Fasten your seat belts. This is the only choice for the world when facing a changing America," he said.
