Exclusive Interview: How will the Democratic Party’s victory in the midterm elections affect U.S. policy toward China?

In response to the US midterm election results, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that this is an internal matter of the United States. Professor Fei Duoli analyzed that China has adopted a cautious attitude and there will be no drastic changes in U.S. policy toward China in the short term. However, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party remain consistent in their strategic competition with China, and Sino-U.S. relations will still face complex challenges in the future.
