Who does China's president want to win the U.S. election?

As Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris face off in the presidential election, China’s President Xi Jinping has not expressed a preference for either.

HONG KONG — One is a former president who vows to double down on the trade war he started with China but could stoke global instability to Beijing’s benefit. The other is a vice president who might be more conciliatory in the short term but could rally U.S. allies against China’s growing global influence.

Which U.S. presidential candidate would Chinese President Xi Jinping rather work with?

Whoever wins the White House next month — former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris — will determine the tone and much of the substance of the relationship between the world’s two largest economies.

Xi has not expressed any preference for the outcome of the Nov. 5 election, with his Foreign Ministry calling it an internal U.S. affair.
