American society is almost evenly divided into tribal camps that show more signs of widening division than of reconciliation. China needs to be alert to the effects that can flow from a polarized United States.

The stakes for the coming US election have never been higher for America and its place in the world. Whether Trump or Biden secure the win for the US Presidency will determine the course of American foreign policy for the next four years and beyond.

Judging from the rhetoric of both Biden and Trump campaign ads, neither candidate has plans for a smooth relationship with China. From Beijing’s perspective, this election will show what type of confrontation to expect over the next four years.

Regardless who wins the 2020 presidential election in the United States, the China-U.S. relationship may not change much. While the rhetoric may cloak the matter in terms of values and ideology, the bottom line is competition between the dollar and the yuan.

The United States’ relationship with China has become a focal point of the upcoming 2020 elections for both Democrats and Republicans. President Trump has made it clear where he stands on China, and his opponent Joe Biden’s views also deserve careful examination.

A host of reasons suggest that there will be no turn for the better in China-U.S. relations, regardless who wins the White House in November. If China’s restraint is perceived as a sign of weakness, the U.S. might adopt risker policies that will force Beijing into a head-on collision.

The 2020 Democratic Party platform reveals a lot about where their presidential nominee stands. If he wins in November, Biden is likely to stay generally on track with Trump in many respects, but perhaps with policies that are not so harsh.
