Trump's Return: A Turning Point for China-U.S. Relations?

China congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory, advocating a pragmatic approach amid looming U.S. tariff threats. Trump's presidency could reshape China-U.S. ties, previously strained over trade and security. The new administration faces pressures to address these challenges and stabilize global economic relations.

China on Wednesday congratulated Donald Trump on his presidential election victory, emphasizing a need for pragmatism in managing bilateral tensions as potential U.S. tariff hikes loom.
