Chinese President Xi JinpingEven after his rancorous rhetoric against China as a candidate in the 2016 race, then-President-elect Trump was congratulated on his win by President Xi Jinping, who called for a "sound" and "stable" Sino-US relationship moving forward. Biden has boasted of his ability to take on China in contrast to Trump, denouncing the outgoing President for initially embracing Xi. As President, Trump trumpeted a controversial referendum win for Erdogan that saw the Turkish leader gain far-reaching and unchecked powers. That will be a very different story with Biden, who Erdogan has not yet acknowledged as President-elect. President Trump has been very respectful with us and we have reached some good accords.
