China on Wednesday reacted guardedly to Donald Trump's election as the US president for the second time, saying it will continue to handle China-US relations in accordance with the “principles of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.”
The state media, however, said Trump's victory could mark a new beginning in China-US relations “if the chance that has been offered is not wasted.”
The wary reaction came amid heightened concerns and uncertainties here over Trump's assertions to continue tough policy towards Beijing, especially further hiking tariffs on Chinese exports.
