In a surprising twist of events, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has extended its congratulations to Donald Trump on his victory in the U.S. presidential election. 🎉🇺🇸🇨🇳
\"We respect the choice of the American people and congratulate Mr. Trump on being elected as the president of the United States,\" stated the ministry on its official website.
Earlier on Wednesday, before the results were finalized, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning emphasized that China's policy towards the U.S. remains consistent. \"China will continue to view and handle its relations with the United States based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation,\" she remarked during a daily press briefing.
Trump, the former U.S. president and Republican candidate, declared victory at his election headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, after major news outlets projected he had secured over 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency. 🗳️💼
In a display of political sportsmanship, U.S. Democratic presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris called Trump to offer her congratulations. She later delivered a concession speech, urging unity and acceptance of the election results. 🤝
The world watches as this new chapter unfolds between two global giants. Will this be the beginning of a new era in U.S.-China relations? Only time will tell. 🌐⏳
