This may be a dumb question, but does China want Trump or Biden to win? Or are they more interested in just amplifying political/social division?
I've only seen references to them dishing out pro trump misinfo, but I expect that's because its the most expedient way to amplify division and it hedges against a trump victory by appealing to his narcissism
America under Trump will all but collapse, which opens up a massive void that China will be happy to fill.
Trump will destroy America for a few strokes of his ego.
Every foreign adversary wants Trump to win because it's obvious to everyone in the world that he's going to cause the collapse of America. When America keels over, a power vacuum opens up.
As an American, yes please. I'm tired of all my tax payer dollars going to defense spending. Meanwhile China managed to build an entire high speed rail network.
In Canada they are more interested in amplifying division
They want minority governments so we are slower to react
For the US I imagine that is having a different Senate or House/Executive
Trump took a LOT of money in gifts from China while in office so I would guess they like him
Edit to add source. There are lots more articles, this is far from the only one
