After years of intense rivalry between the US and China over globally challenging issues from trade and technology to Taiwan and human rights, the US president's new spokeswoman took the two sides' relationship to uncharted territory.
Zacharia - who previously lived in China and is due to visit next month - recalled in an interview the perception in 2016 that China would soon overtake the US.
