That's not "Trump's" rejection of China. That's just a general US policy, one that's existed for some time, that any attempt by China to attack our allies in the region would draw a response. We do have treaties and agreements with those allies, after all. Not everything is about little Donnie Trump. Our government and our policies and treaties and agreements existed long before he became president for his one disastrous term.

Well...that's a no-brainer. China's claim clearly violates international law regarding maritime borders / international waters, and in addition - if their claim were accepted - would cause financial hardship to several of our allies. Indeed: it already HAS caused such hardship - and not only to our allies. Chinese military craft are violently attacking Vietnamese fisherman (ramming their boats) in order to put a halt to fishing in waters claimed by China that are by international law property of Vietnam.
