U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price on Monday said America's relations with China are multifaceted and Washington will seek to cooperate even as it competes with Beijing.

Speaking at a press briefing, Price said Washington needs to use its own resources and work with allies to compete with China on some fronts, but it will also cooperate with China in matters such as climate and the Iran nuclear issue.
