Component in React version 16

The following is giving me an error in React v16.0. The error I'm getting is:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'createElement' of undefined

import { React, Component } from 'react';

    class MyComponent extends Component {

       render() {

          return(
              <div>Hello World!</div>
          );
       };
    };

If I change it to the following, it works.

import React from 'react';

class MyComponent extends React.Component {

   // Omitted for brevity
}

I'm aware of some changes from v15.x to 16.x but I'm not clear about this one.

Your import needs to be the following: import React, { Component } from 'react';

React is your standard default export as before but Component is a named export.
