China said it hopes for “peaceful coexistence” with the United States, shortly before Donald Trump secures re-election as US president.
“China policy in the US is consistent and clear. We view and handle our relations with the US under the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on Wednesday morning (6). .
Officially, the Chinese government presented a neutral position on the election, calling it “an internal matter of the United States”.
Meanwhile, Chinese state media tried to portray the vote as a reflection of deep social divisions and political dysfunction in the United States, amid a widespread feeling in China that no matter who wins, strained bilateral ties are unlikely to improve.
