BEIJING: China has said that it hopes ties with the United States can improve whoever wins the presidential elections in November. China and the US have clashed in recent years on flashpoint matters from trade and technology to human rights, as well as over Taiwan and competing claims in the South China Sea, local media reported on Monday.
Voters in the US go to the elections this November in an election that will likely pit former President Donald Trump against the President Joe Biden for the keys to the office of the President.
