Patrick Shanahan, acting Defense Secretary, said in a speech Wednesday that the focus should be on "China, China and China", despite the fact that the United States is fighting Syrian and Afghan militants, a Defense Department official said.
Shanahan's speech was delivered during his first meeting with U.S. military officials after he succeeded Matisse as Defense Minister. Matisse resigned on Monday after disagreeing with President Trump over policy.
U.S. officials who provided the information requested anonymity and did not specify Shanahan's views on China or whether he gave other instructions at the meeting.
Other officials said Shanahan advocated the Pentagon's tough stance on China. The American Defense Strategy of 2018 defines China as a strategic competitor.
The Pentagon has said that he played an important role in developing this strategy. The strategy lists China and Russia as major threats, saying they want to "build a world that fits their authoritarian model".
"Long-term strategic competition with China and Russia is the top priority of the Ministry of Defense, which requires increased and sustained investment," the strategic report said.
