China has expressed its desire for "peaceful coexistence" with the U.S.
This sentiment was articulated by Mao Ning, a spokeswoman for China's foreign ministry, who emphasized that China's approach to U.S. relations remains rooted in "mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation."
Despite not directly addressing Trump's victory, Mao acknowledged China's respect for the decision made by the American electorate.
The election results have sparked significant interest on Chinese social media platforms, with discussions centering around the potential implications for Sino-U.S. relations.
Notably, Trump's proposal to impose a 60 percent tariff on all Chinese goods has raised concerns among those involved in foreign trade.
As one user on Xiaohongshu remarked, "The trade war has started," reflecting the anxiety felt by many in the business community.
Reactions within China have been mixed. While some individuals express indifference towards the outcome, others are acutely aware of the potential economic repercussions.
An insurance industry worker noted, "No matter what industry you’re in, people are indeed paying attention to him, what will happen to China next if he comes to power."
Analysts predict that a Trump victory could prompt China to unveil a major economic stimulus package, aimed at mitigating the impact of heightened tariffs and maintaining economic stability.
