Note: The report is based on
(a) Remarks by President Trump and President Iohannis of Romania Before Bilateral Meeting. White House, Aug 20, 2019.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/brief ... -bilateral-meeting/
The Web page refers to China 24 times and I can not reproduce them all:
(i) "Q [reporter] Mr President, what sort of contingency steps or plans is the White House thinking about to stave off any kind of economic slowdown? We’ve heard that there’s been some talk of a payroll tax cut kicked around, some other tax cuts. You’ve been talking about a cut in the Fed rate, quantitative easing. What are you looking at?
"PRESIDENT TRUMP: * * * We're, right now, the number one country anywhere in the world, by far, as an economy. Europe has got a lot of problems, and Asia has got a lot of problems. If you look at China, China has had the worst year they've had in 27 years. And they want to make a deal with us, but I can tell you I’m not ready to make a deal. Unless they're going to make the right kind of a deal, I’m not ready to make a deal. So I don’t know, but I will say this: Something will happen. It may be soon; it may be a little bit later. But China very much wants to make a deal. * * *
(ii) "Q Mr. President, you keep insisting that your trade war with China — the trade war with China is not affecting the U.S. economy. But a lot of economists disagree with that. And they worry that if China goes into a recession, they’ll pull us down with it.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well — well, okay. Let me — let me tell you something. Number one, we're doing very well as an economy. But somebody had to take China on. You know, I read and I see so much and I read so much, and I’ll see these economists saying, 'Oh, give up. Give up on China. Give up.' * * *
# So as the URL of this VOA report shows, 挑战中国 = take on China.
