What China expects from Kamala Harris presidencyBloombergChina officially avoided commenting on US Vice President Kamala Harris’ late entry into the US presidential race. “And at the level of whether it’s Biden or Trump or Harris, it’s really just a matter of style,” Mahoney said. Harris has only met Xi on the sidelines of a summit in Thailand and has not visited Beijing in her current role. “Harris does not have a track record on China, and it is not an area she is particularly comfortable,” added the former Pentagon official. Harris also visited Palawan, the Philippines, an island close to an area that is in heavy dispute between China and neighboring countries.
