US-China Elections: China sees potential opportunities to take advantage of US election uncertainty, regardless of winner, due to expected downward trend in US-China relations.
According to U.S. intelligence, China does not see any significant upside to the upcoming US election between President Biden and former President Trump. Both candidates are viewed unfavorably, with different characteristics. Biden is seen as more predictable and better at working with allies, while Trump is disruptive and unpredictable, having started the trade war and rallying bipartisan consensus against China. Despite Trump's unpredictability, China sees potential opportunities to take advantage of the situation, as they believe his actions could erode US prestige and weaken its position on the global stage. Ultimately, regardless of who wins, China expects a long-term downward trend in US-China relations.
China's plan to reduce US dependence: China is planning to reduce its dependence on the US for technology and finance due to perceived instability and potential for heavy sanctions, aiming to stand on its own two feet and build good relationships with other countries.
Regardless of who wins the US presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, China is planning to reduce its dependence on the US for technology and finance. The Chinese Communist Party sees the US as unpredictable and potentially volatile, and they want to ensure they can withstand heavy sanctions and export controls. China is pursuing a route to stand on its own two feet and have strong systems of its own, while being opportunistic where they can. They are planning for the worst-case scenario and trying to build good trade relationships with the rest of the world. This assessment comes from US intelligence and sources in China. Trump's actions towards allies and unpredictability have given the Chinese a reason to consider this approach, but the strategy is likely to remain consistent regardless of who takes power in the US.
