Trump portrayed China as the greatest threat to the United States and global democracy

I agree with Trump on that.

But Trump has been a threat to US democracy. His unwillingness to concede defeat just one more example.

For standing up for the Average blue collar American and oppose the establishment? I guess so.

His unwillingness to concede defeat just one more example.

He doesn’t have to, Gore didn’t and he has the absolute constitutional right to challenge the results of suspicious irregularities

I understand they also told him they could make him a great deal if he decides to start a "Biden Collection" clothing line made in their sweatshop factories...just like his predecessor...

Maybe Trump can seek asylum in Beijing!

President Xi falls into line. Putin next.

The most secure election in history.

Nor even remotely close to the truth. Lol

Thursday's joint statement was released by the Election Infrastructure Government Co-ordinating Council - which is made up of senior officials from the Department of Homeland Security and the US Election Assistance Commission as well as state-level officials who oversee elections and representatives of the voting machine industry.

The losers will claim "fake news"!

His kids are set for life.

Do you think China has set them up more or less than Yvanka with the dozens of patents they've extended her during Trump's four years of failure?

China congratulates Biden on U.S. election win

Well, the CCP would obviously be happy with their man in the White House. Biden has already said that he would go back to the failed policies of the past, which would include submission under China.

Luckily, there is fair chance the election scam will be reversed. Even if the media is giving that the laptop treatment.

The neo liberal pivot from 'resistance' to 'unity' is as swift as it is dishonest.

What reason could you possibly have for thinking that?

What reason could you possibly have for thinking that?

Hyper-partisan extremist delusion whereby their entitlement makes them feel they deserve power even though the people have rejected them seven out of the past eight elections.

Total nonsense.

China congratulated U.S. President-elect Joe Biden on Friday nearly a week after he was declared winner of the American election, saying it respects "the choice of the American people".

This made me want to respond back to the CCP, "You should learn to respect the choices of the Chinese people, starting with your own, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet etc....."

I know that China should not be "back to business" as usual with any sane country. The CCP has a LOT to be held accountable for, and must not be fed anything that can be abused to make them feel like they can use it for their own advantage.

Biden is better than Trump in that he will be more open to LISTENING to the people of the US.

China is doing something more American than Trump. Even though they wanted Trump in the White House, they're accepting Biden as the democratically elected president of the US.

Remember how Trump went on about his landslide victory in 2016 (with the same number of electoral college votes as Biden has), while claiming the Democrats were sore losers for not accepting the results? Even though the Democrats accepted the results, while simply pointing out that Trump wasn't actually the choice of the people, and that a system where the person who gets less votes wins is broken. Now the pubs are not accepting the results, even though Biden won a landslide in both the electoral college (remember, this is Trump's definition) as well as a landslide in the popular vote.

Lou Dobbs on Fox "news" last night had a complete and utter breakdown, asking why more Republicans weren't simply refusing to accept the results of the election.

Is there anything these people have ever criticized that they haven't either done already, or gone on to do?

None of the Trump administration policies helped wage earners. The tax cuts all went to those with the highest incomes. Middle income wage earners in some states saw their home mortgage deductions reduced, increasing their tax burden. Major corporations saw large increases in their costs due to greatly increased tariffs, the costs of which were passed along mostly to the buyers. Increasing prices decrease sales and lower, not increase economic growth. Higher prices also are yet another burden faced by wage earner families. Literally nothing the Trump administration did increased the wealth of wage earners.

No. China doesn't care if a nation's leader comes to power through an election or at the point of a gun. They were waiting for the uncertainty to be reduced to the point where they felt they would not be embarrassed in the near future if they congratulated the wrong candidate. If anything China is using the perceived chaos of this election as an advertisement for their form of government. It strengthens their arguments against elected government.
