US Election: China declines to acknowledge Biden’s victory

President Xi Jinping of China on Monday declined to congratulate Joe Biden as the winner of the US presidential election, saying the outcome of the vote was still to be determined.

China, Russia and Mexico however have not congratulated the President-Elect.

“Our understanding is that the outcome of the election will be determined in accordance with US laws and procedures,” foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told press at a regular briefing.

After declining to acknowledge Biden’s victory despite repeated questions from reporters, Wang said: “We hope the new US government can meet halfway.
