U.S.-China relations are expected to remain tumultuous regardless of whether Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump wins the upcoming presidential election. As Election Day approaches, the international community is keenly observing the situation. While Chinese President Xi Jinping has not indicated a preference for either candidate, some experts suggest that Chinese officials may slightly favor Harris, as they believe she might be more inclined to continue the stable policies of President Joe Biden.
Experts note that Trump’s unpredictable nature raises concerns, as he could implement decisions that might exacerbate tensions between the two nations. Both candidates have addressed China primarily in terms of tariffs, with Harris likely to maintain Biden’s targeted tariffs, while Trump has proposed steep tariffs on Chinese goods.
The situation regarding Taiwan also looms large in U.S.-China relations, particularly if military support is provided to the island in the event of aggression from China. Neither candidate has clarified their positions on this matter.
