Why China and Russia Are Betting on Biden

The election of Joe Biden as President of the United States has been met with mixed reactions from around the globe. While some countries have expressed optimism about the possibility of a more cooperative relationship with the United States, others have expressed concern about the potential for increased tensions. Two countries that are particularly interested in Biden's presidency are China and Russia.

China and Russia have both been eager to improve relations with the United States in recent years. However, they have also been frustrated by the Trump administration's aggressive approach to foreign policy. Biden, on the other hand, has pledged to take a more diplomatic approach to international relations. He has also said that he is interested in working with other countries to address global challenges, such as climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic.

For China, Biden's presidency could represent an opportunity to reset relations with the United States. The two countries have been locked in a trade war for the past several years, and tensions have also been high over issues such as human rights and Taiwan. Biden has said that he is willing to work with China to resolve these issues, but he has also made it clear that he will not tolerate China's aggressive behavior in the South China Sea.

Russia is also hoping for a more cooperative relationship with the United States under Biden. The two countries have been at odds over a number of issues, including the war in Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea, and the poisoning of Russian opposition figures. Biden has said that he is open to dialogue with Russia, but he has also made it clear that he will not tolerate Russia's interference in other countries' affairs.

It is too early to say whether Biden will be able to improve relations with China and Russia. However, his election has given both countries hope that they can finally put their differences aside and work together to address global challenges.

China's Hopes for Biden

China's leaders are hoping that Biden's presidency will bring a more stable and predictable relationship between the two countries.

However, China is also aware that Biden is not likely to be as accommodating as they would like. Biden has said that he will not tolerate China's aggressive behavior in the South China Sea, and he has also pledged to work with other countries to counter China's economic influence.
