China says it will work with US government on basis of mutual respect

Following the victory of former President Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential elections, China announced it will work with the U.S. on the basis of mutual respect, Reuters writes.

“Our policy towards the U.S. is consistent. We will continue to view and handle China-U.S. relations in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, peaceful co-existence and win-win cooperation,” Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning said in a regular press conference in Beijing, when asked how Trump returning to the Oval Office would affect the U.S.-China relations.

Reuters writes, however, that according to Chinese strategists, they expected more fiery rhetoric and potentially crippling tariffs from Trump.
