China congratulates Trump on his victory and says it respects “the decision of the American people”

MADRID 6 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Chinese authorities congratulated the Republican candidate and former president of the United States, Donald Trump, on Wednesday for his virtual victory in the presidential elections, while waiting for the official results of the elections to be known.

“We respect the choice of the American people and congratulate Mr. Trump on his electoral victory,” said the Chinese Foreign Ministry in a statement that comes just a few hours after the Ministry’s spokesperson, Mao Ning, showed caution after learning the first projections given by the media in the North American country.

Thus, he assured that this is an issue that responds to the internal affairs of the United States, which is why he decided at first not to comment on “hypotheses”, but rather when there were more definitive results.

However, he already indicated that Beijing would “respect the decision of the American people” and assured that, subsequently, the country will address its relations with Washington taking into account the principles of “mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and cooperation that offers advantages for both parties.” .
