In response to Donald Trump’s election win, Chinese President Xi Jinping extended congratulations, advocating for stable and healthy US-China relations. Unlike four years ago when Xi delayed his message after Joe Biden’s victory, this time, he acted swiftly. While state media presented the news lightly, social media buzzed with mixed reactions, ranging from fears of increased US tariffs to admiration for Trump. Experts suggest that Trump’s presidency might benefit China, citing his disinterest in sensitive internal matters. However, concerns over a renewed trade war loom, particularly with Trump’s proposed steep tariffs on Chinese imports.
