BEIJING: China will work with United States on the basis of mutual respect, it said on Wednesday (Nov 6) as Donald Trump closed in on victory in the presidential election, but strategists said Beijing was bracing for bitter superpower rivalry over trade, technology and security issues.
"Our policy towards the US is consistent," foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a regular press conference in Beijing, when asked how Trump returning to the Oval Office would affect US-China relations.
