    What does China’s government even want the U.S. election result to be? Putin and Netanyahu obviously want Republicans to win. NATO countries (Hungary aside, I guess) presumably prefer Democrats over MAGA Republicans (which I guess is all of them now).

    I’m not really clear on what China under Xi would want. There’s a massive trade relationship that goes well beyond TikTok, EVs, and Nvidia chips. America being dysfunctional and chaotic doesn’t actually benefit China.

      It will when they take Taiwan in '25 or '26. Trump, being the idiot he is would probably let them take it as long as they send him some free gold shoes.

      It’s better to get the fascists well controlled before they do a genocide, so obviously Russia and China will support MAGAs, they don’t want to fight fascism on another front than Ukraine.

      I’m not saying Democrats are not fascists, what I’m saying it’s they will go for the most “friendly” fascists for their interests.

      Trump vows massive tariffs that could shrink US-China trade to practically nothing — and Biden has new restrictions ready to roll before election day. Either way they’re screwed.
