A US Biden administration will be easier on China than President Donald Trump, according to former American national security adviser John Bolton, reported Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.
Mr Bolton said the incoming administration will take a similar approach to China as Barack Obama, when Mr Biden served as vice president.
"But I think the same thing could have happened had there been a second Trump term if Xi Jinping called him and said, 'Hey, congratulations on the election. Let's talk about trade'," Mr Bolton said.
President Trump "could tell from public opinion surveys in the United States and all across western Europe and most of the rest of world [that] public opinion on China was turning very negative, so then Trump became negative on China himself."
