A senior Chinese official, Jia Qingguo, has expressed a preference for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump as the next US president, citing the detrimental impact of Trump's presidency on US-China relations. Jia noted that the bilateral ties deteriorated sharply during Trump's term, leading to significant confrontations, and he emphasized that under Harris, who has worked with President Biden, there is a sense of continuity in US policy. Although the Chinese public holds mixed opinions about both candidates, Jia's comments reflect a desire to avoid the 'bad experience' of Trump's administration. He acknowledged that while there are still challenges in US-China relations, the current administration's approach is seen as more stable and predictable. Meanwhile, British politician Michael Gove also indicated he would vote for Harris over Trump, citing concerns about Trump's character despite acknowledging some of his foreign policy successes. Overall, both China and certain political figures in the UK view Harris as a preferable candidate, marking a desire for a more stable international relationship.
