After a tension-filled and tumultuous 2020 US presidential election, Americans have chosen Joe Biden to become the 46th president of the US. Where is the China-US relationship headed in the years to come? What will be the possibility of an outbreak of a new cold war between Beijing and Washington during Biden's presidency? Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China (RDCY) jointly held a Webinar with the No Cold War campaign and Tricontinental Institute for Social Research themed "the Future of China-US relations" and discussed these issues on Saturday.
In mid-January 2020, 800 people gathered at Mexico’s Ministry of Economy to celebrate “China Day” with a seminar on Chinese-Mexican relations. Mexico’s Minister of Economy Graciela Márquez Colín, who has a PhD in economic history from Harvard University, said, “China and Mexico have to walk together, to build a stronger and more solid relationship.” In July 2020, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement went into force. At the January event, Márquez Colín said that despite this agreement, Mexico must “redouble its efforts” to draw investment from other places, such as China.
The ongoing 3rd China International Import Exposition (CIIE) in Shanghai has witnessed good interests and an actual rise in the Renminbi settlement for foreign goods and services deals at the mega event.
The opening of the third China International Import Expo on Thursday heralded what may well be the "light at the end of the tunnel" for a world which is still largely shut down by the coronavirus. As one of the first countries to get control over the spread of the virus, China was the first to seriously restart its economy. Having served over the last few decades as the real engine of world economic growth, it is now declaring to the world that it is definitely open for business.
A new cold war with the US is not part of China's five-year plan. In the detailed proposals for the 14th Five-Year Plan and the long-range objectives through 2035, the US was not mentioned. In terms of foreign relations, the plan mentioned opening up to the outside world at a higher level, building a new type of international relations and creating a favorable external environment. These can lay the foundation for cooperation with Biden's "foreign policy for the middle class."
The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held from October 26 to 29 in Beijing.

This seminar took the rare form of simultaneous transmission in both Chinese and English, and was broadcast simultaneously on international new media platforms such

US elections 2020 could produce clear results or, as also seems likely, an uncertain outcome. Either way, they will mark another, possibly momentous, milestone in the downward trajectory of the country’s political and geopolitical economy of recent decades. Developments in the US will reverberate around the world, affecting political trends within countries and the shape of the world order. They are certainly set to further accelerate China’s rising prominence in it. Panellists with expertise on different regions and themes will dwell on the significance of the outcome.
Under the raging epidemic, China has stood with the world in an open attitude and assumed the responsibility of a great power. As Chinese President Xi Jinping said in a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Third China International Import Expo on the evening of the 4th, China is willing to work with other countries to create opportunities in opening up, solve problems in cooperation, and work together to create a better life for mankind. tomorrow!
On August 20, 2018, El Salvador’s leftist president Salvador Sánchez Cerén announced on national television that El Salvador would break its ties with Taiwan and recognize the People’s Republic of China. This was in accord with international law, said Sánchez Cerén, and it would bring “great benefits for our country.”
The press conference which followed the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee put forward guidelines not only for China's next five-year plan, for 2021-2025, but also for more medium-term development of China up to 2035. The two are interrelated because the next five-year plan will inaugurate a qualitatively new period in China's economic development which is of global significance. This goes beyond the fact that China's short-term economic prospects are better than for any other major country, with the International Monetary Fund estimating it will account for 60% of global growth in 2020-2021.

As China begins to deliberate its next five-year plan, the rest of the world still finds itself in the throes of the COVID virus, indeed, perhaps entering into a new and more serious phase. This is partly due to the chronology of the virus. China was the first country affected by the coronavirus. And it acted quickly and with great vigor, and was therefore the first country to battle its way out of the danger zone. Other countries were affected somewhat later and they reacted slowly and less rigorously in spite of the example shown by China.
