China Congratulates Biden

“Days after many other countries, China finally on Friday congratulated President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris for their U.S. election win, ending whispers over Beijing’s reticence,” the Washington Post reports.

“Beijing’s salutations came just over 24 hours after Biden’s team said he had held phone calls with Australia, Japan and South Korea — U.S. allies that have watched with varying degrees of concern as Beijing has expanded its regional influence.”
