The Chinese state news media expressed some optimism when announcing Joe Biden had won the Presidency, stating they believed that a Biden white house could help ease the tensions between the two countries. However, these news sites still suggest that American democracy was in decline and there could still be future tensions between the two superpowers. While the US-China relations, specifically trust and cooperation, were at the lowest levels in recent history under President Trump, but the reaction that came from China was a look to a better future where the relations could be better. This bump in cooperation could lead to the two countries working together to combat world wide issues like the corona virus pandemic and climate change, two of the greatest threats to the entire world at this moment in time.
