China declines to acknowledge Joe Biden’s victory

Refusing to congratulate Joe Biden for winning the Presidential election, China said the outcome of the election still needs to be decided in accordance with US laws and procedure, adding it would follow international practices in extending its sentiments. “We hope the new US government can meet China halfway,” said foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has refused to concede defeat and continues to push the claim that the election was rigged.
