Chinese state media have warned the U.S. president-elect against isolationism and interventionism, calling instead for the United States to actively work with China to maintain the international status quo.
Donald Trump threatened to tear up trade deals and pursue a more unilateral foreign policy under his "America First" principle during a tempestuous campaign.
But China and other foreign governments are uncertain how much of Trump's rhetoric will be translated into policy because he has at times made contradictory statements and provided few details of how he would deal with the world.
