China's initial response to President-elect Trump's victory was matter of fact, but experts say Xi Jinping will be closely watching Trump's words and actions.
KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan — The official response from Xi Jinping's communist China to President-elect Trump's victory was formulaic. 'Our policy towards the U.S. is consistent,' foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told reporters Wednesday afternoon. 'We will continue to view and handle China-U.S. relations in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, peaceful co-existence and win-win cooperation.
But this time around, Yuan says, China knows how much such policies will hurt, and they will come at a time when China’s domestic economy is not doing well. 'Three key issues will continue to dominate the U.S.-China relationship. They are the three T’s — trade, technology and Taiwan,' Zhiqun Zhu, a professor of political science and international relations at Bucknell University, told Fox News Digital a few hours before Trump’s stunning triumph became official.
More than 30,000 people viewed the question, and roughly 5,500 provided a variety of answers that included some direct support for Democratic nominee Harris, whom Chinese netizens have given the nickname 'Ha Ha Sister,' a reference to the vice president’s exuberant laughter. Feingold, however, noted the near unanimity in Chinese netizens’ comments that the U.S. is hostile toward China, and they don't wish to see China rise to its rightful place as a global power.
