(Peng Boxun, Washington) US intelligence agencies found that Chinese leaders believe that whether it is the current US President Biden or the former President Trump won the November election, it is no different for China and almost no benefits.
The first debate of the US presidential campaign will be held next week. Bloomberg Society on Thursday (June 20) quoted unnamed U.S. officials saying that American intelligence agencies have no obvious preference for two presidential candidates after evaluation.
This conclusion shows that Beijing, like Washington, believes that despite the recent increase in high -level conferences that are designed to regulate the differences between the two sides, Sino -US relations will still go downhill for a long time.
Chinese officials required anonymous also said that Beijing believes that both presidential candidates intend to curb China and destroy their rise.
Gao Zhikai, a former Chinese diplomat and a former Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, said: "Speak a little euphemistically, they are not perfect candidates. Biden is a cold warrior.Cantile, and Trump may impose sanctions and tariffs on China to pursue his U.S. priority agenda.
It is reported that if Trump is in power again, it may be bad for China.
Officials from the two countries say that China believes that if Trump is elected again, the provocative, unpredictable policy formulation and reorganization of anti -Chinese measures may become its ruling characteristics.Trump has proposed a 60%tariff on Chinese -made goods during the campaign.
However, Chinese officials believe that Trump's election of president may weaken the relationship between Washington and its allies and thus open the window for Beijing.During the first term of office, Trump repeatedly frictions with European allies on national defense expenses, and from time to time, he complained that the United States provided protection costs for Japan and South Korea.
A Chinese official said that Trump may also be more willing to do transactions than Biden. China ’s concessions in trade may open the road for the United States in sensitive issues such as Taiwan.
But Biden's re -election will not make China feel consolation.Officials between the two countries say that the most concerned issue of Chinese policy makers is that Biden may promote the strengthening of regional partnerships in order to counterattack China.
In the past four years, China has often condemned the Quartet Safety Dialogue (QUAD) composed of the United States, Australia, India, and Japan, and AUKUS in the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. It is the power to curb China.
Gao Zhikai believes that no matter who won in the U.S. election, China needs to be handled according to the situation, instead of unrealistic hope."From the perspective of China, we only need to look at its changes."
