  • The Wall Street Journal：In Trump Win, China Hopes for U.S. Retreat
    The Wall Street Journal reports: "Beijing may believe that Mr. Trump is bluffing when he threatens sweeping tariffs on Chinese imports; the official media have portrayed him as more of a clown than a menace. But it had better brace for the consequences of a populist revolt that swept him to victory...The damage to U.S. democracy from an ugly election campaign—and now a polarized country—underscores the Communist Party's propaganda message to the masses that it alone stands between order and chaos...His election may well kill off Barack Obama's signature foreign-policy initiative, the 'pivot' to Asia...Yet it is the American security guarantee that has kept the peace in East Asia and allowed the world's most dynamic region to focus on growth...In office, Mr. Trump will discover an enduring reality, as his predecessors did: No global problem can be solved without China's help"
  • Reuters：For China, Trump win creates uncertainty, opportunity
    Reuters reports: "Donald Trump's upset election victory cracks open pressing strategic and economic questions in U.S.-China ties, and has likely surprised and worried Chinese leaders, who prize stability in relations between the two powers...Beijing tends to prefer incumbent party successors with consistent policy lines. Trump's lack of a governance track record and his unorthodox take on long-held Republican priorities could prove a headache for Chinese officials. Jia Qingguo, the dean of the School of International Relations at China's elite Peking University and a government advisor, called Trump 'a symbol of uncertainty. China hopes the United States' future policy would be more certain because in this way, we can prepare and deal with it,' Jia said...Chinese President Xi Jinping congratulated Donald Trump on winning the U.S. presidency [saying]...'I place great importance on the China-U.S. relationship, and look forward to working with you to uphold the principles of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation."
  • The New York Times：China Bullies Hong Kong
    The New York Times comments: "Until Monday, Beijing had not issued its own interpretation of any clause in the Basic Law without being asked for an interpretation by the Hong Kong government or judiciary. In this case, it intervened to say that office holders must "sincerely and solemnly" take loyalty oaths. Beijing's unilateral move was a heavy-handed attempt to silence democratic voices...China's tightening hand is undermining Hong Kong's economic model...China cannot afford to erode that credibility, especially when its own economy is struggling. Nor can China afford to stoke further unrest, which makes Hong Kong less attractive for investment and sends an ominous signal to Taiwan...Activists like Ms. Yau and Mr. Leung are choosing to defend the rule of law; they merit strong international support."
