China, which is at the peak of confrontation with the United States, is also keen on the results of this election.
As if aiming at the next US president, Xi Jinping said, "A great power must set an example."

Chinese President Xi Jinping gave a video speech at the opening ceremony of the Shanghai International Import Fair last night.
Unusually, the opening ceremony was held late at night, but it seems that they were trying to match the American morning time.
Xi stressed that unilateralism and protectionism should not be allowed to destroy the international order, and that the powers should set an example.
It is interpreted as a message to the next US president-elect.
[Xi Jinping/President of the State of China: You must not harm others for your own interests by being a child alone.
Powerful nations should set an example.] From
the outside, China is in a position that it doesn't matter who gets elected.
[Wang Won-bin/Spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China: The US presidential election is an internal affair of the United States, and China does not hold a position on this issue.]
But it seems complicated.
If President Trump is re-elected, the conflict between the United States and China is likely to amplify, but as President Trump is in conflict with other countries with the US priority, China's influence in the international community may increase.
On the other hand, if Biden is elected, predictability may increase, but China's position may be narrowed.
Candidate Biden's efforts to democratize Hong Kong and human rights issues in Xinjiang could be burdensome to China.
Chinese authorities are solidifying internal solidarity, saying that the US-China relationship will not change significantly after the US presidential election.
