Arguably the world’s most important bilateral relationship is between the USA and China. With president-elect Joe Biden to replace Donald Trump in the White House, what are the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) thoughts on the change in reins? Analysts believe Sino-US interests will continue to clash because of strategic competition, but Biden may be able to generate strong multilateral support against Beijing. Dr Collin Koh, Research Fellow at the RSIS, tweeted, “Biden could be more worrisome for Beijing than Trump ever was. Trump had been mocked in PRC as helping to make the country look better on the world stage. A Biden admin may also respond better to Beijing’s challenge with allies and partners’ help.”
